حلال
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

E173 Aluminium — is it halal?

Ruling: Mashbuh (doubtful)

Description

Aluminium E173 is metallic aluminium as a fine powder or tiny sheets, a silvery-grey surface colour. The metal is made from bauxite or cryolite: alkaline recovery of alumina and electrolysis. Per the EU and JECFA, grinding may be done in the presence of edible vegetable oils and/or food-grade fatty acids (E570). A possible secondary feedstock (scrap, packaging) is not excluded by the sources for E173.

Basis of the ruling

Aluminium E173 is a fine powder or flakes of metallic aluminium made from bauxite, a silvery colour for outer coatings. Under the standards, milling may be done in the presence of vegetable oils or food-grade fatty acids, and these remain in the product.
