Consuming feces and other impure substances is forbidden by Islamic law and naturally repulsive, as these are considered abhorrent and prohibited. There is also a consensus among the Muslim community regarding the impermissibility of consuming impure substances. Furthermore, eating feces invalidates the fast, because anything that reaches the stomach of a fasting person, whether it is typically eaten or not, nullifies the fast.
