Eating mushrooms, prawns and shrimps

Q: What is makrooh? Are shrimps, prawns and mushrooms makrooh? Can we eat these things?

A: Mushrooms are permissible. There is no doubt about its permissibility. In shrimps and prawns, there is a difference of opinion. Hence, it is better to refrain.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
