Fishing and hunting purely for sport is ḥarām. Certainly, as it entails causing harm to another living creature without a valid purpose. Islam prohibits all harm except when necessary, such as slaughtering an animal for food. Catch and release inflicts harm on a creature for mere sport. While some argue that fish do not feel pain, even if that were true, it still involves using another creature for one's mere pleasure\"},{\"insert\":\"\\n\\n\\n\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"67685b67bc817803e25898e1","tag":"Fishing","count":3},{"_id":"67685b67bc817803e25898e4","tag":"Live Bait","count":1},{"_id":"67685b67bc817803e25898e7","tag":"Recreational Sport","count":1}],"createdOn":"2024-12-22T18:33:11.100Z"}
