Is Instant Custard Halal?
HALAL
It contains unspecified flavouring and its carrier is not stated; an alcohol-free flavouring declaration would settle the concern.
Hanafi, Shafi, Maliki — their opinion: the tiny carrier trace transforms during preparation, so it is allowed.
Jafari, Hanbali, Ibadi — they find it disliked because the carrier is unclear, so it is better avoided.
