clearly the shaykh was making a joke, and many ulema in the past actually used the term “mermaid.”

people who think this is serious just need to ligten up a bit!–your life needs some sunshine.

may Allah reward you anonymouse!

As the others have mentioned, while we might find it quite amusing (I have to admit even I do), it’s also a sign of how thorough our scholars are.
Besides, many people used to believe in mermaids “back in the day”! Unicorns and dragons too were believed to be real.

One of my friends, who is studying at AOU, mentioned to me once that there was one school of thought that focused a great deal on hypothetical situations because “what if” it really happened? In fact, long before space travel became reality, people wondered what direction to pray in if they weren’t on earth (i.e. if they were in space).

I know it might have not been the intention of some but we should be very careful when it comes to making jokes in relation to the deen, as Allah has revealed about the hypocrites:

And if you ask them, they will surely say, “We were only conversing and playing.” Say, “Is it Allah and His verses and His Messenger that you were mocking?” Make no excuse; you have disbelieved after your belief. If We pardon one faction of you – We will punish another faction because they were criminals.- Surat Tawbah, 65-66

May Allah forgive us for our shortcomings. Ameen
