Summary
This Selangor fatwa rules that farmed fish kept in ponds, lakes, mining pools and similar places, and fed mainly on impure matter such as pork and carrion, are forbidden to eat. Breeders are also prohibited from using impure matter as the main feed for farmed fish. The prohibition is made as a preventive measure (sadd al-dhara'i) and to respect the sensitivities of Muslims.
