Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Human milk is pure (tahir), and therefore there is no impediment to eating the meat of an animal that has been fed with it or with any other pure (tahir) foodstuff, unlike the Jalalah (an animal that feeds on impurities), which feeds on filth (najasa). The detestability of the Jalalah is removed if it is confined and fed until the effect of the filth disappears. An animal that feeds on human milk and then eats grass is not subject to the ruling of Jalalah, because it has not fed on impurities in the first place.
