Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that rearing Wagyu cattle by giving them alcohol in order to sell their meat is haram. Buying and selling the meat of such cattle is also haram, and Muslims are forbidden to eat it. The same decision permits crocodile farming for tourism and research, with a note that it applies only to the JCORP company project.
