Question:-
Are followers of the Hanafi Madhab permitted to consume shellfish, calamari and mussels? Is there any difference of opinion in the matter?
Answer:-
According to our research, clamshell/shellfish, calamari and mussels, do not fall into the category of fish, hence it is impermissible to consume it according to the Hanafi school of thought. We are not aware of any difference of opinion in terms of their Halaal status in the Hanafi Madhab.
