Based on similarities to prawns, krill is generally considered permissible (halal) to consume.
Here's why:
-
Similarities to Prawns: The ruling regarding krill consumption often draws parallels to that of prawns. There are no major, obvious differences that would classify krill as something fundamentally different from prawns in terms of Islamic dietary laws.
-
General Permissibility of Seafood: The Islamic tradition generally permits the consumption of seafood. Krill, being a marine animal, falls under this broad category.
-
Absence of Specific Prohibition: There isn't a specific prohibition against krill consumption in major Islamic texts or rulings.
Therefore, due to the similarities between krill and prawns, and the general permissibility of seafood, krill is considered halal.
