Summary
The Sarawak State Fatwa Board ruled that livestock fed najis as their main feed are forbidden to be eaten. Breeders must ensure that the feed given to their animals comes from pure sources. Breeders are prohibited from using najis as the main feed as a preventive measure (sadd az-zarai'), while also respecting the sensitivities of the Muslim community.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
