Is Margarine Halal?
MUSHBOOH
It contains mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, an emulsifier whose fat may be plant-based or animal-based, including pork; an unqualified label cannot settle the source. A plant-based note, vegetarian claim, or halal mark would resolve it.
Jafari, Zaydi — their opinion: an unstated source does not have to be investigated, so the emulsifier is allowed.
Hanafi, Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: the fat could be pork, so a plant or halal source must be confirmed and it should be avoided without one.
