Summary
The Sarawak State Fatwa Board ruled that temilok is halal to eat. This follows the majority view of the four Sunni schools that animals living solely in water and unable to survive without it are halal. The fatwa states that sea creatures caught either alive or dead fall under this ruling.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Sehubungan itu, selaras dengan pandangan jumhur ulama' yang menyatakan bahawa haiwan yang tinggal di dalam laut semata-mata dan tidak boleh hidup tanpa air adalah halal dimakan termasuklah Temilok.
