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

E413 Tragacanth — is it halal?

Ruling: Mashbuh (doubtful)

Description

Tragacanth is the dried exudate (gum) of the stems and branches of shrubs of the genus Astragalus (A. gummifer, A. microcephalus and other Asiatic species; Iran, Turkey). The gum is collected from incisions, sorted, cleaned, ground and sieved; heat treatment with an air stream at ~90 °C and blending of powder batches are possible. Possible links: insects as a raw-material impurity removed in cleaning (c2)

Basis of the ruling

Tragacanth is the dried gum of Astragalus shrubs: it is collected from incisions, cleaned, ground and sieved. An industry report says insects of unnamed species are removed from the raw gum during cleaning; insects are haram to eat.

Names: Трагакант · Tragacanth · الكثيراء (صمغ الكثيراء)
