Arabic text

أُحِلَّ لَكُمْ صَيْدُ ٱلْبَحْرِ وَطَعَامُهُۥ مَتَـٰعًا لَّكُمْ وَلِلسَّيَّارَةِ ۖ وَحُرِّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ صَيْدُ ٱلْبَرِّ مَا دُمْتُمْ حُرُمًا ۗ وَٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ ٱلَّذِىٓ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ

Translation

Permitted for you (whether you are in the state of Ihraam or not) is the prey of the sea (fish) and eating from it is a provision for you and for travellers. (However,) Prey of the land has been prohibited for you as long as you are in the state of Ihraam. Fear Allaah unto Whom you will be gathered.
