chickens or najaza in artificial pond.
Praise be to Allaah.
If most of the food that was given to the fish was taahir (pure), it
is permissible to eat the fish and there is nothingwrong with that.
But if most of it was from najis (impure) carcasses (i.e., the fish
are what the scholars call jallaalah or animals that feed on filth),
then it is not permissible to eat the fish until they have been
prevented from eating impurities for three days or more, and have been
fed with food that is pure so that their flesh will become good.
It says in Kashshaaf al-Qinaa' (6/193): Jallaalah – which refers to
animals most of whose food is najis – is haraam, as is its milk,
because of the report narrated by Ibn 'Umar who said: The Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) forbade eating jallaalah or
(drinking) its milk. Narrated by Ahmad, Abu Dawood and at-Tirmidhi who
said: (it is) hasan ghareeb. It was classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in
al-Irwaa', 2503…
… (it is haraam) until it has been kept for three days and nights,
becauseif Ibn 'Umar wanted to eat (such an animal), he would keep it
for three days and feed it with pure food, and prevent it from eating
impure food, whether it was a bird or animal, because the factor that
was preventing it from beinghalaal would be removed thereby. End
quote.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said: The milkof the jallaalah that
feeds on impure things was forbidden by the Prophet (blessings and
peace of Allah be upon him), but if it is kept until it becomes pure,
then it becomes halaal according to Muslim consensus, because before
that the traces of impurity would appear in its milk, eggs and sweat,
and the stench and foulness of the impurity would become apparent. But
once that disappeared it would become pure. If the ruling applies
because ofa reason, it ceases to apply when that reason disappears.
End quote from Majmoo'al-Fataawa, 21/618.
The Standing Committee for Issuing Fatwas was asked: They feed
chickens with various kinds of food, among which is ground meat of
animals that died without being slaughtered properly, and meat from
pigs. Are the chicken that are fed with this meat halaal or haraam? If
they are haraam, what is the ruling on their eggs?
They replied: If what is said about their feed is correct, then there
is a difference of opinion among the scholars withregard to eating
their flesh and eggs. Maalik and a number of others said that eating
their flesh and eggs is permissible, because the impure feed becomes
pure when it is transformed into flesh and eggs (i.e., istihaalah).
But a number of scholars, including ath-Thawri, ash-Shaafa'i and Ahmad
are of the view that it is haraam to eat their fleshand eggs, or to
drink themilk (of animals to which the same criteria apply), unless
they were fed with pure feed after that for three days or more, in
which case it becomes permissible to eat the (meat), eggs and milk.
And it was said thatif most of their feed is impure, then they are
classed as jallaalah and cannot be eaten, but if most of their feed is
pure, then they may be eaten. A number of scholars said that it is
haraam, because of the report narrated by Ahmad, Abu Dawood,
an-Nasaa'i, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Maajah from Ibn'Umar, according to
which the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon
him) forbade eating jallaalah or (drinking) their milk.
Jallaalah refers to any animal that eats filth andother kinds of
impurities. But the most correct view is that which says that it
depends, which is the second view quoted above.
End quote from Fataawa al-Lajnah ad-Daa'imah, 23/377
If it is clear that eating these fish – even if they have been kept
(away from impurities) for three days or more – willcause harm, it is
not permissible to eat them, because Allah, may He beexalted, says
(interpretation of the meaning): "and do not throw yourselves into
destruction" [al-Baqarah2:195]. And the Prophet (blessings and peace
of Allah be upon him) said: "There should be no causing harm or
reciprocating harm." Narrated by Ibn Maajah, 2431; classed as saheeh
by al-Albaani in Irwa' al-Ghaleel, 896
And Allah knows best.
