M&M’s are not halal and people are freaking out

[Thorough Pro]

Most of the gelatine ( In higher 90's percent) comes from bones because that is the cheapest. Plant based is very expensive and rarely used in common everyday food products. If it does not specifically says "Plant Gelatine" it is the other one.

I have never heard of plant based gelatine. There is agar agar, but it is not an exact replacement.

Lol....

I am really confused because they are labeled halal here in Australia. That said, they taste like cheap sugar coated junk. I don't really like them at all and I don't know what the big deal is.

My knowledge says 100℅ gelatine comes from animals. Plants simply don't have the chemistry for making it. Plant based gelatine is a misnomer. But I could be wrong.

Not funny

They are also labeled halal in Malaysia...but you can find those without the halal chop...I think it depends who is making them?

Yes that got me wondering, do the Pakistani ones undergo a different process during production?
Also they're plenty of brands out there that are far better, I often find local alternatives better as well.

My 2p worth.
I don't drink alcohol, I don't eat pork, I don't eat anything that has not been killed according to Islamic method and custom.
Having said all that, I refuse to make my life a misery by obsessively micro analysing everything I eat.
If it's obviously haram I avoid it, if not then it's fine by me.

For fcuks sakes -

• 95% of Pakistani's not paying any tax is halal
• Cheating at every corner is halal
• deception at every corner is halal
• not taking care of sick is halal
• abusing the poor is halal
• shagging children is halal
• smoking narcotics is halal
• throwing rubbish and living in filth is halal

But lo behold some punk declares that there is trace element in such a such sweet and the heavens come crashing, earth rattles in awe of Allah's vengence.

Kafirs have reached moon and skies and here my pious brethren are still worried about haram/halal.

Reminds me of a story about how scholars were debating whether crow meat is halal/haram in Baghdad when Mongols were knocking at their doorsteps. The rest is just history how river turned into red and how minarets of skulls were made.

 

[Jaanbaz]

Haram M&M or donkey/dog meat being fed to Pakistanis? Man the fake religious outrage of Pakistanis is hilarious, chill the **** out, how about get rid of serious moral/ethical corruption in Pakistan before going after sugary snacks?

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

I checked the label it is 100% corruption free

Almond and Peanuts ? They highlighted it bold text

 

[Hyde]

This is shocking. I eat M&Ms all the time

I didn't know eating pork intoxicates.

As per my understanding If any Haram thing is used in preparation of any halal thang, that too becomes Haram.
You do what you think is right for you, no body is forcing you to do or not do anything.

My apologies. I should've added that this rule applies to intoxicants only instead of assuming that it was self evident.

I shall clarify with some evidence.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whatever intoxicates in large quantities, a little of it is haraam.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1865; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.​

Some people think that the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), “Whatever intoxicates in large quantities, a little of it is haraam”, mean that if a small percentage of an intoxicant is mixed with a large amount of a substance that is not intoxicating, then it is haraam. This is a misunderstanding of the hadeeth. “Whatever intoxicates in large quantities, a little of it is haraam” means that if a lot of something will cause intoxication, and a little of it will not cause intoxication, then a lot or a little are both haraam, because you may drink a little that does not cause intoxication, then you may be tempted to drink more and become intoxicated. But if something is mixed with alcohol but the alcohol is a small amount and does not have any effect, then it is halaal and does not come under the ruling of this hadeeth.

Link to full fatwa

It is reported that Daylam al-Himyari said, "O Messenger of Allah. We live in a cold land in which we do heavy work and we make a liquor from wheat to get strength from it for our work and to stand the cold of our country." He asked whether it was intoxicating, and when be replied that it was, he said they must avoid it. When he replied that the people would not abandon it, he said, "If they do not abandon it fight with them."[Abu Dawud]
​

The above narration also demonstrates that it is the totality of the drink that is considered and not the individual components.

As fermentation is a natural process that may occur causing there to be miniscule amounts of alcohol present in some drinks. Therefore, the standard set was intoxicating capacity rather than percentage etc

There are many other narrations to this effect, where RasulAllah pbuh was asked about a beverage and he asked whether it intoxicated and replied accordingly.


I hope that clarifies my point.


And Allah Azawajal knows best
