Abstract
Islamic jurisprudence specifies which foods are lawful and which are unlawful. The commandments found in the Qur'an, and Sunnāh reveals that “God created every living creature from water. Some of them walk on their bellies, some walk on two legs, and some walk on four. God creates whatever He wills. God is Omnipotent”. (Quran 24:45) The basic research question in this article is that Amphibians are lawful or unlawful for the eating purpose of human being. In this perspective it is stated that there are many deviated exegeses for permissible and forbidden of reptiles in each school of thought. Reptiles are tetra pod animals in the class Reptilia, comprising turtles, crocodilians, snakes, amphibians, and their extinct relatives. The study of these traditional reptile orders, historically combined with that of modern amphibians, is called herpetology.

According to this all aquatic animals are permissible or forbidden or they are described in details. This objective also addresses that what is the opinion of ancient and modern jurists about the condition and sanctity of animals?
