Mutton fat (tail fat) — is it halal?
Ruling: Haram
Description
Mutton fat is sheep adipose tissue (tail and internal fat) and the fat rendered from it. Under CXS 211-1999 edible tallow (dripping) is made from fatty tissue of cattle and/or sheep, so “tallow” may also be mutton fat.
Basis of the ruling
Mutton fat is the tail and internal fat of sheep and the fat rendered from it; edible tallow may also be mutton fat. Rendering only separates the fat from the tissue — the fat remains the same fat, its essence does not change.
