Ruling on eating the turtle, alligator, sea horse, and hedgehog

A: It is permissible to eat turtles and shrimps, as it was authentically reported that when the Prophet (peace be upon him) was asked about sea water, he said, “Its water is a purifier and its Maytah (dead sea creatures) are Halal.” Similarly, it is permissible to eat the meat of zebra, as the prohibition is regarding (Part No. 22; Page No. 319) the domesticated donkeys.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
