Pearl of Wisdom

'The Prophet (SAWA) came to me, after I gave birth to Husayn, so I gave him [Husayn ] to him [the Prophet] in a yellow cloth, which he cast aside and wrapped him instead in a white cloth. He then said, 'Fatima take him, he is indeed an Imam and the son of an Imam. He is the father of nine Imams; from his loins will come virtuous Imams, the ninth of whom will be al-Qa?im [the awaited saviour of mankind].'

Fatimah bint Muhammad al-Zahra [as]
Kifayat al-Athdr, no. 194

Question : #223 Category: Food & Drinks
Subject: gelatin foods
Question: What is your ruling on having foods that contain gelatin?
Answer: It is permissible to eat gelatin if one doubts whether it has been extracted from an animal or vegetable. But, if it is known that it was derived from an animal, then it is not permissible to eat without ascertaining that the animal was slaughtered according to sharí‘a. This prohibition applies, as a matter of obligatory precaution, even if it was extracted from animal bones.

Of course, if a chemical change occurs in the original ingredients during the process of manufacturing the gelatin, there is no problem at all in eating it. Similarly, even if one has doubt whether the animal was slaughtered Islamically or not, still there is no problem in adding the gelatin [made from that animal] to the food in such a minute amount that it is completely absorbed in it.
