Just a correction Yashmaki Rennet is not haraam if the animal is slaughtered the islamic way, otherwise it's haraam whichever animal it comes from and Pig is haraam rennet or no rennet.

W'aslaam.

I were just about to say that according to a fatwa form Sheikh Ilyas Patel on sunnipath, animal rennet from other than a pig according to hanafi fiqh is spot on ! 🙂

and that fatwa about rennet from animal sacrifices in islamic way only is wrong !!

please, please verify fatwa before publishing, much appreciated !

Salaam FHPE, may I ask why you think rennet is haraam even from a animal sacrificed in the islamic way?

:shock: :shock: ........... i do not !!!!

I meant that rennet from any animal other than a pig is halah, whether the animal is sacrificed in in islamic way or not !!!!

Yes, thats what a scholar informed me as well yesterday. For that is the view of Imam Abu Hanifah

Only rennet made from pig is haraam.

These choclates are Haraam. They contains dead meat from pigs, cows, chickens, sheep, and other badly slaughtered animals. For Jews and Muslims, these things are not allowed to be eaten. If you eat them they turn you into a Kaafir. That is why I won't be buying them anymore. I still eat Lion bar and some other choclates. Some Brothers told me these are still Halal to eat.
But Mars, Bounty, Twix, Snickers, Galaxy, Milky Way etc, are for Kaafirs only. Muslims as well Jews dont even tough the, They are filthy dirty because they have dead animal ingredients put into them.So brother and sisters try to get yourself off the addiction from these Haraam choclates.

sallamalikum

Thanks for the info. br Umar. i know what to avoid

No problem Madinah786, as for muslimsister and fhpe I agree to what you say and to the differing opinions mentioned in the article and all I can say is it all depends on the indviduals taqwa - its better to not eat them, I mean it won't kill you if you don't you know 😉

There is no legislation defining vegetarianism, and subsequently the only laws about accurately labelling products as vegetarian relate to general trading standards, ie nothing misleading. In my opinion given the prevalence of vegetarian, kosher and halal diets this is not good enough, and manufacturers should be encouraged to adopt a standard labelling policy of V and NV based on a standard and rigorous definition. I recently contacted some soft drink manufacturers to enquire about use of gelatin, and while I'm pleased to report that most companies including Marks & Spencer, Villa Drinks, Princes and Sunpride (pure fruit juices) do not use gelatin, others such as Tropicana and Britvic include gelatin, give leeway to their suppliers or, like Gerber (relating to pomegranate juices), gave vague and inappropriate responses about how the gelatin is no longer present after UV filtration. And a t least one who I'd best not mention gave a response I just don't believe. None of them mentions gelatin on the ingredients.

:shock: Wow, I didn't know that. So how long does it take to turn into a kafir - one day, a week?

Can I just say, how would you know where the rennet comes from.... it wont say on the packet that it comes from a pig, cow, ect. so how would you know?

the BBC links and other lists are clearly stating that they come from calf

and malik

im getting sick and tired of the crap that u sprout

IF IMAM HANIFAH SAYS THAT IS IS HALAAL THEN WHO THE HELL ARE U TO CALL PEOPLE KAFIR

and stop putting 'kafirs' down

all the ones i know are a million times better than ur hate filled, narrow minded, twisted, fetish inclined ways

:evil: :evil: :evil: :evil: :evil:

He is not a hanafi. But I doubt shia's believe eating something Haraam is kufr.

PS what exactly is rennet? from what I read in the metro, it is the whey (whatever that is) that will no longer be guaranteed to be from veg extracts on products with a sell by date of after October.

I can see why eating something you know to be haraam is a huge sin, because if you believed in and loved Allah (swt) you wouldn't want to. If you are 'addicted' to eating something haraam, and therefore ignore Allah's laws, then that is an act of kufr as it is minor shirk IMO.

But to say eating something haraam will turn you into a kafir is a bit silly.

In relation to the Hanafi viewpoint, correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't this fatwa made in an Muslim society where all calf and lamb would have been slaughtered in the Islamic way. What do the Hanafi scholars say about eating Rennet or other animal-derived products in a non-Muslim society? if its the same, then fair enough but I think its important to clarify.

KitKat also not suitable!

and also the mauve coloured Smarties!!

Still not kufr.

Makes you a major sinner.

For kufr, you have to either not believe in something essential, or declare a fardh act as not allowed or declare a haraam act as allowed when you fully know the score.

The reason being doind those two actions means you are directly contradicting thee Qur'an. (For something to be fardh or haraam, there needs to be an explicit statement about it in the Qur'an. In essence you are denying the a book of Allah (swt) - something essential to belief.)

ARGH!

[quote="Admin"]what exactly is rennet?[/quote]
I am getting this definition.

Rennet - an extract from the membranes of calves' stomachs which contains rennin, an enzyme that aids in coagulating milk or separating curds from whey.

Since most animals are NOT slaughtered (stun and then put a bolt to the brainpan), I would assume it is not allowed?

I am too antisocial to get into the latest texting craze. Most people do not have my primary email addy either. :twisted:

The oxford dictionary says that slaughter means "to kill (animals)". So whether an animal is electrocuted or the neck is cut, it still means means slaughter; to kill right?

What's the point of having an email add if you don't want people to email you 😛

people email me all the time. Just people who regularly send chainmail have my hotmail addy which I rarely check...

I assume the original verdict is from an Islamic source, so it is the Islamic definition of slaughter that we want, not the Oxford English definition.

Islamic definition needs the blood to be drained. with a cut to the jugular vein.

but it doesn't matter if the 'slaughter' is Islamic or not

if a non-muslim kills an animal (other than a pig ofcourse) in a non-halal manner then it would still be acceptable.

When we are talking about eating the actual meat then yes, the slaughter has to be as you have described.
