Summary
The Sarawak State Fatwa Board ruled that the lelitak or kelitak is not halal to eat. It is not a sea creature that depends entirely on water for its survival. It is also an animal without flowing blood and is classified as khabais, meaning repugnant.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Lelitak atau pun kelitak bukan hidupan laut yang bergantung sepenuhnya dengan air untuk hidup dan ia merupakan haiwan yang tidak mengalir darahnya dan ianya dikategorikan sebagai khabais dan tidak halal untuk dimakan.
