Eating Fisikh

Q 4: In Egypt there is a dish that we call Fisikh. It contains fish that are salted and exposed to the sun to dry. They are then put in a tank for a period of time to be sold later. Some people say that Eating Fisikh is Haram (prohibited), because it becomes rotten. What is the correct ruling on this question?

A: Eating Fisikh is Halal (lawful), as the basic ruling on everything is that it is Halal, and we do not know of any evidence that removes that ruling in this case.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
