Halal fertiliser?

[ummahmed]

as salaamu alaikum,

Does anyone know if Islamically are we allowed to use manure/chicken pellets or anything else from an animal as fertiliser on edible plants?

[Riz]

i use the chicken pellets and manure, i have never heard anyone or read anywhere that its not permissible though...

[felicity]

How can fertiliser be halal or not? it's fertiliser so I don't understand why it has to be halal? if there is such a thing? Can you please explain.

What a random question! I don't know the answer though, can't figure out why it'd be a problem to have anything in your garden though, as long as it rots and nourishes the soil. Very strange.

[Riz]

well animal blood is high in nitrogen so would it be permissible to use that to mix with soil and grow veggies !????

[Tania]

Please, Don't kill the animal to fertilise the soil :eek:

[ummahmed]

Fertilizers such as blood fish and bone contain pulverized animals bones and abattoir blood which may come from pigs? would this be allowed to use for growing edibles?

I'm starting a vegetable garden and have been recommended 'fish, blood and bones' as a good way to prep the ground for growing. But I have concerns about using it too... Any suggestions?

welcome to muslimgrower biloo

i dont have any issues in using it, as its just fish blood and bones and not a pig or anything thats haraam, alternatively stick to chicken pellets and scatter them into the ground and let them breakdown a month before you start to sow or plant your veggies..
