Is gelatine considered haraam by all Muslim scholars? I have read of a contradictory opinion... See: Salafitalk- Ruling on Gelatin--Nabilqureshi 05:31, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Gelatin

Gelatin / Gelatine - haram if obtained from pork or non-halal meat sources - the source is sometimes mentioned on the ingredients list. A vegetarian alternative is available.

[edit] References needed on harām

"The category of harām also includes all manner of forbidden behaviours, from adultery to siding with a non-Muslim power against Muslims in war."

This is very interesting and I would think that references (Q'uran or other teachings) would be useful.

Yea, I was just going to ask for that as well. I think the first sentence is correct but I really doubt the second one.--Zhang Lmao 07:48, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Define sypnosis

I don't know the word, I can't find it at dictionary.com, and it's used in this article in "Haraam is a widely used sypnosis to define all that is forbidden by God." I suspect a different word would be best, but if this word is used, there needs to be a definition or a link to some kind of definition. Enuja 23:15, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
