Summary
Blood remaining on the meat, veins and bones of cooked chicken is ruled lawful and pure. The fatwa adopts the view of Imam al-Nawawi and Imam al-Subki, since the prohibited blood is that which flows during life or slaughter, and avoiding blood on meat and bones is difficult. The authoritative (muktamad) position of the Shafi'i school differs: such blood is impure but excused, and it becomes impure and not excused if mixed with a foreign substance such as being rinsed with water. If a doctor forbids it due to harm from illness, eating it becomes haram or makruh according to the degree of harm.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, darah pada daging, urat dan tulang ayam yang sudah dimasak adalah halal dan suci.
