Summary
The 141st/2023 meeting of the Federal Territories Syarak Legal Consultative Committee decided that using cultured meat is haram. The reason given is that the cells used (ESC or ADSC) come from a non-halal source. The cells are also kept alive with a serum derived from impure (najis) elements.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum penggunaan daging kultur adalah haram kerana Sel (ESC atau ADSC) yang digunakan berasal daripada sumber yang tidak halal dan ia dihidupkan dengan serum bersumberkan dari unsur najis.
