Is it permissible to consume fruits & veg grown with human waste as fertiliser?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Assalamu Alaikum It has been on the news that some UK retailers use sludge, human waste, as fertiliser on their fruits and vegetable. My question is; would it be permissible to consume such products? Should we refrain from eating them? Jazakallahukhairan Wassalam

Answer

(Fatwa: 1144/983=L/1429)

It is allowed to eat such fruits and vegetables which were grown by sludge and human waste as fertiliser:
