Summary
The answer states that KFC is now owned by the Johor State Corporation and is recognised as halal. The book Panduan Halal Haram is described as a general study by the Penang Consumers Association. The claim that this fast food is haram or doubtful is therefore not adopted as the basis of the answer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
KFC kini dimiliki oleh Perbadanan Negeri Johor dan diakui halal manakala buku "Panduan Halal Haram" adalah hasil kajian secara umum Persatuan Pengguna Pulau Pinang.
