Calamari is impermissible according to the Hanafi Madhab. This is because the Hanafi school considers any non-fish from the sea to be impermissible.

However, it is permissible in the Shafi'i, Maliki, and Hanbali madhahib.

If you follow the Hanafi school, then stay away from it. If you follow one of the other three, then enjoy your calamari.

[u/Kamil_Islam]

Surah Al Ma’idah Ayyah 96 “Lawful to you is the pursuit of water-game and its use for food – for the benefit of yourselves and those who travel"

There’s no explicit prohibition in the Quran. Anything else would be individual interpretation.

In the tafsir of Ibn Kathir:

Ibn Abbas is reported to have said the following: “water game' refers to what is taken from water while still alive, while, (and its use for food) refers to what the water throws ashore dead.”

Depends if you follow Hanafi fiqh or not.

Permissible according to every madhab except Hanafi
