Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on eating fish that live in sewage water?
Answer:
They are not to be eaten; because they feed on impure things, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the milk of al-jalalah animals and eating their meat. Al-jalalah is a cow that eats excrement until it is confined and fed pure food for three days. Likewise, if a fish is fed on impure things, it is not permissible. Yes.
