What is the ruling on eating frozen fillet fish imported from Vietnam, whose body is not covered by scales (fals or saft)?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no harm in eating fish and marine creatures, due to the generality of Allah's Almighty saying: "Lawful to you is the pursuit of game from the sea and its food," and the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying regarding the sea: "Its water is purifying, and its dead are lawful." This excludes anything proven to be medically harmful.
