Q: I’m a follower of the Hanafi mazhab and I’d like to know if it’s permissible for me to taste foods such as oyster, shrimp, lobsters, etc. Although it’s not allowed according to Imam Abu Haneefah (rahimahullah) but according to Imam Shaafi’ee (rahimahullah) and Imam Maalik (rahimahullah) it would be fine to eat such foods. Since they are all correct mazaahib and its only a matter regarding food shouldn’t it be jaaiz for me to eat them, if not could I not atleast eat/taste them once.
Q: I have a question about easter eggs. I know it's obviously haram to sell and buy them. But today a neighbour has left in front of the door of my hause an easter chocolate egg, although she well knows that my mom and I are Muslim since 3 years, alHamdulillah.
Now I don't know what to do with this chocolate egg. I think it's also haram to eat easter eggs as it's haram to buy them. So what should I do? Do I have to throw away the egg (naturally destroying it so nobody can eat it) or can I break the chocolate into many pieces to consume it during the year as "normal" chocolate?
