Is Potato Mash Halal?
MUSHBOOH
It contains mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, an emulsifier whose fat may come from plants or animals, including pork; a plant or halal source would settle it.
Jafari, Zaydi — their opinion: an unstated source does not have to be investigated, so it is allowed.
Hanafi, Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: the fat could be pork, so a plant or halal source is required and it should be avoided without one.
