Indonesia’s top Islamic body recently made headlines when they declared Kopi Luwak, or “civet coffee”, halal. Kopi Luwak is made by harvesting beans that have been eaten by nocturnal civet cats and fermented before being passed back out via their stomachs and eventually being washed and roasted before washing to ensure cleanliness. A prominent Muslim preacher had expressed concerns that such coffee may not be pure; their ruling confirms this interpretation of Islam as being acceptable.
