This issue was brought up in Sheikh Jihad's Ramadhan lectures in birmingham and he clarified that Gelatine was allowed due its conversion process which makes it halal as per Aga Sistani (may Allah(s.w.t) grant him a long life).

The lecture can be found under the media section of the Birmingham Jamat website: http://www.ksmnet.org/index.php?option= ... 4&Itemid=9

And gelatine from pork is normally clearly stated in the ingredients as 'pork gelatine'.

However, if you are still wary - be relieved to know that Haribo has taken out a new HALAL range of sweeties made of gelatine derived from vegetables. Available at: Tesco and Asda (not sure about the rest!) :wink:

'A Code of Practice for Muslims in the West', AppendixIII, Pg 293 wrote:15. Gelatine. derived from vegetable or animal source. If it is from vegetable source, there is no problem. But if it was from animal not slaughtered Islamically, it is halal in view of the late Grand Ayatullah as Sayyid al Khui based on the chemical change (istihala) that it goes through. As for the view of the Grand Aatullah as Sayyid as Sistani, it is not halal because he believes that in chemical change the orignal components should be completely eliminated.

Good fact finding….but note principle of ruju also applies so that means Agha Sistani’s verdict is not the final say on the matter.
