Kawn ad-Din
الْحَلَالُ بَيِّنٌ وَالْحَرَامُ بَيِّنٌ، وَبَيْنَهُمَا مُشَبَّهَاتٌ لَا يَعْلَمُهَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ، فَمَنِ اتَّقَى الْمُشَبَّهَاتِ اسْتَبْرَأَ لِدِينِهِ وَعِرْضِهِ

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “The lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, and between them are doubtful matters that many people do not know. Whoever guards against the doubtful matters protects his religion and his honor.”

al-Bukhari, 52

E124 Ponceau 4R — is it halal?

Ruling: Halal

Description

Ponceau 4R, Cochineal Red A is a synthetic monoazo dye: naphthionic acid → diazotisation → coupling with G acid (2-naphthol-6,8-disulphonic acid) → conversion to the trisodium salt (NaCl/Na2SO4 as uncoloured components). The sources name no animal raw material in the synthesis. Possible links: carriers and additives of commercial forms and preparations (EU carrier class; Chinese liquid form; Roha liquid forms («sol»

Basis of the ruling

Ponceau 4R is a synthetic azo colour; the name "cochineal red A" refers to its colour — it has nothing to do with the cochineal insect. It is made from naphthionic acid and G-acid (2-naphthol-6,8-disulphonic acid) — petrochemical products; common salt and sodium sulphate remain in the powder.
