Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that buying and selling recycled used cooking oil to be reprocessed into fuel, as well as renting out tanks for the oil, is permissible. Since the oil may have been used to cook non-halal food including pork, the tanks that stored it are considered contaminated with najs. They must be purified using the sertu method for severe impurity before being filled with halal oil if required.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
