Doubt regarding the frying of permissible food in oil that has been used to fry forbidden food
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The third question of Fatwa No. ( 20811 )
Q 3: It is common for some foods, such as potatoes and fish, to be fried in vegetable oils, but some Muslims here may doubt that lard might be used for this purpose, and it is difficult to verify this . What is your guidance, Your Eminence?
A 3: The original ruling for food is that it is lawful, except for what is established to contain something of pork or its derivatives. As long as nothing of that is established in it, the original ruling is that it is lawful, and mere doubt is not given consideration. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
