Summary
The 39th Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee, held on 21 September 1995, ruled that the PSH-P hormone obtained from pig brain is severe impurity (najis mughallazah) and is forbidden to use in any form, including for breeding. The prohibition is based on doubt (syubhah). Offspring produced through this hormone are forbidden, as are their meat and milk. Veterinary departments nationwide were directed to stop injecting the hormone into lawful livestock immediately.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
