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

E250 Sodium nitrite — is it halal?

Ruling: Mashbuh (doubtful)

Description

Sodium nitrite is an inorganic salt: absorption of nitrous gases (nitric acid production by ammonia oxidation) in sodium hydroxide or carbonate solution (c1). Under 231/2012 and TR CU 029 it is sold for food use only in a curing mixture with salt; mixture makers receive pure nitrite (c3).

Basis of the ruling

Sodium nitrite is an inorganic salt: nitrous gases from nitric acid production are absorbed in a sodium alkali solution. Free-flowing food grades are coated with an anti-caking agent; some manufacturers do not name it, and one patent lists stearates among the options, with the fatty acid source not stated.
