Is Spearmint Sugar-Free Gum Halal?
MUSHBOOH
The glycerol (E422) in this gum can come from plant oil or animal fat, and the label gives no source; “vegetable glycerin” or a vegan claim would settle it.
Jafari — their opinion: an additive with an unknown source is allowed, so this is treated as permissible.
Hanafi, Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali — their opinion: the fat could be animal-derived, so without a named plant source it remains doubtful and should be avoided.
