Summary
The 2nd Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee on 12-13 May 1981 ruled that the status of gas from pig dung depends on how it is processed. Gas processed using fire is ruled impure (najis). Gas processed without using fire is ruled pure (suci).
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
gas yang diproses daripada tahi babi dengan mengunakan api hukumnya najis dan yang tidak menggunakan api hukumnya suci.
