Question: Assalam aleykum

Is it permissible to eat calamari according to the Hanafi school?

Answer: assalamu alaykum

In the Hanafi school, the only seafood that is permitted to consume is what falls into the category of fish. Therefore, calamari would not be permitted according to Hanafis. [al-Marghinani, al-Hidaya]

There is, however, established difference of opinion on this matter with all three of the other schools permitting the consumption of squid. For more, please see:
