Is Lemon Meringue Cake Halal?
MUSHBOOH
It contains rundergelatine (bovine gelatin), but the package gives no halal mark confirming Islamic slaughter; a halal mark would settle it.
Hanafi — their opinion: gelatin from a halal animal such as cattle is allowed without proof of slaughter, because the bones and skin need no such proof.
Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali, Jafari, Zaydi, Ibadi — their opinion: gelatin keeps the ruling of the animal, so unconfirmed Islamic slaughter means it should be avoided.
