Summary
Scalding or boiling a chicken whose filth and impurities have not been cleaned makes both the chicken and the hot water impure. In the Shafi’i school, meat cooked with impurity can still be purified. The chicken may be cleaned again, inside and outside, by washing it with pure water, and the stronger view does not require squeezing it. The Hanafi school (except Abu Yusuf) and the Hanbali school hold that such meat cannot be purified.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Manakala mazhab Syafi'iyyah pula berpendapat bahawa daging yang dimasak dengan najis, masih boleh disucikan atau dibersihkan.
