Is it permissible to use cow dung and human excreta as manure for crops?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
assalamu alaikum, i want to know whether cow dung and human excreta are allowed to be used as mannure ( khad ) in crops and can we use food from such crops.

Answer

(Fatwa: 1492/1164/B=1431)

When the dung of animals and human excrement mix with soil, they turn into manure. It is lawful to use such manure in fields. However, it is lawful to consume the grains that are produced through this manure.
