Question
My friend fishes for sport. He spends many hours late at night catching fish. I know that fishing and hunting for sport are not permissible. What is the status of the fish he gives me? Is it permissible to eat such fish?
Answer
The fish remains halaal. But your conscience agitates, hence you have posed this question. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Sin is that which agitates your conscience." Abstain from eating this type of fish which will harden your heart.
