Q: I would like to know what is the ruling regarding dolphins. I know that it is regarded as the pig of the ocean, however why is this so and would the same rules and prohibitions regarding pigs also apply to dolphins. Would it be acceptable to attend dolphin shows or touch it etc.
A: All sea creatures that are not fish are not permissible to consume. However, all sea creatures are paak.
It is paak and touching it will be permissible.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
