Summary
The 73rd Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee in April 2006 ruled that fish raised in farming ponds and the like are haram to eat if they are deliberately kept in impure water. The same ruling applies if the fish are deliberately fed impure matter such as pork or carrion. Deliberateness is a condition of this ruling.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Ikan yang dipelihara di dalam kolam ternakan dan seumpamanya adalah haram dimakan sekiranya ikan tersebut sengaja dipelihara di dalam air najis atau sengaja diberi makan najis seperti daging babi, bangkai atau sebagainya.
