Summary
Aquaculture animals that are raised and deliberately fed on pure impurities or feed mixed with impure substances, whether of the mughallazah or mutawassitah category, are prohibited for consumption unless quarantined. Quarantine requires moving the animals to a new space free of impurities, where they may be left unfed or given clean feed. The general quarantine period is at least 3 days and must be extended until the foul smell has completely gone.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tempoh umum kuarantin adalah sekurang-kurangnya 3 hari dan hendaklah dipastikan hilang bau busuk.
