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)

Contents 1 Gelatin 2 References needed on harām 3 Define sypnosis 4 Move proposal

[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.

Depends. Gelatin, when a chemical change happens in its creation (which is how Gelatin is made in the West), is considered Halal by the majority of scholars; both Sunni and Shia. Armyrifle 21:38, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[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)

[edit] Move proposal

Proposal: move to Haram. This is the normal romanization used in English-speaking regions and the first letter of the current title shows up as an empty square box. Badagnani 02:25, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. WP:UE dictates that all article titles should use the Roman alphabet. Korossyl 11:15, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

The move would not be to Haram (as that is an article on the "sanctuary") but Haraam (which is a re-direct to this article). To be consistent I would also suggest proposing to move Halal to Halaal. → AA ^{(talk • contribs)} — 11:49, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I've been bold and seeing as there have been no objections, made the move. → AA ^{(talk • contribs)} — 12:42, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
