read through some articles, only our sect (shafi'e) says haram

in Islam, aquatic livings are edible as long as it's safe to eat (e.g non-poisonous) and clean . Muslims aren't required to slaughter them. that's the case with siput sedut.

now siput babi, they aren't slaughter-able according to Islam's way since they do not have necks and we have been depicting it as dirty animals (but I am a bit confused since they are biologically almost similar to siput sedut albeit the latter are capable of living under the sea + cooks would definitely clean them thoroughly before cooking)

someone with better knowledge if you find what I just said is wrong, please fix it. I have no authority to claim what I just said is totally right.
