Commentary
In Arabic language the fat that is extracted from meat is called Shaham, while the melted fat is called Wadak, but changing names does not change the rulings of the Shari'ah.
The Jews resorted to trickery and claimed that only fat was made forbidden to them so they are selling Wadak (melted fat), which is a different thing.
