Question

If a fisherman catches a fish and finds inside its belly another fish with scales, is it permissible to eat the fish found inside?

Ayatullah Bashir Hussain al-Najafi · Accepted Answer

In the name of Allah, if the fish inside is still alive, then it is permissible to eat it after removing it from the belly of the other fish. However, if it has died inside the fish, then it is considered dead (maytah) and not permissible. Allah knows best.
