Eating fish caught from treated sewage water

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to eat fish caught from sewage water after it has been treated?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible, because it is nourished by ritual impurity, and its treatment does not remove the impurity, but only reduces it. It has not undergone the complete treatment that removes the impurity, because they say this requires a great cost, many times more than the price of water. Yes.
