Summary
Imported meat bought before the meat cartel scandal emerged, and not sourced from the implicated warehouses, is halal to eat based on certain criteria. If the meat is believed to come from a warehouse involved in the syndicate, it is better to practise wara' and caution (ihtiyat) by not eating it. Where the source is known for certain and the authorities confirm the meat has been mixed with prohibited items, eating it is haram.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Jika daging import tersebut telah dibeli sebelum berlakunya sindiket kartel daging dan tidak bersumberkan daripada gudang terlibat maka halal untuk dimakan berpandukan kriteria tertentu.
