Summary
Selling the blood of a sacrificial animal to a factory to be processed into fertiliser is haram. Scholars of the Shafi'i school forbid selling the skin, meat or any part of a sacrificial animal, and blood is one such part. In addition, the sale of blood is prohibited by scholarly consensus, and blood is classed as impure, so its sale is invalid.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Hukum jual beli darah daripada binatang korban kepada kilang bagi tujuan memprosesnya untuk dijadikan baja adalah haram.
