Summary
The Perak State Fatwa Committee adopted the decision of the National Council for Islamic Religious Affairs (MKI) that using flowing blood in any food or drink is forbidden by consensus. Blood plasma in current food and drink products is also forbidden. The reasons are that complete transformation (istihalah tammah) does not occur, since plasma can still be detected in the final product, and its use does not reach a state of urgent necessity.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
