Lays Chips: Jamia Ashrafia denied of Lays’ authenticity being Halal

E631 : Sodium inosinate

Produce from FAT, but not FAT. it becomes Salt after a chemical process

“Vineger” produce from Alcohol, but not Alcohol after a chemical process. (Fermentation of Vine Juice)

Origin:
=====
Sodium salt of inosinic acid (E630), a natural acid, that is mainly present in animals. => Commercially prepared from meat or fish <= (sardines). After a chemical process. May also be produced by bacterial fermentation of sugars.

Function & Characteristics:
====================
Flavour enhancer. Inosinic acid and inosinates do not have the specific umami taste but strongly enhance many other flavours, thereby reducing the amounts of salt or other flavour enhancers needed in a product.
Products:
=======
Used in many products.
Acceptable daily intake (ADI):
None determined. Inosinates may not be used in products intended for children under 12 weeks.

Side effects:
=========
Asthmatic people should avoid inosinates. As inosinates are metabolised to purines, they should be avoided by people suffering from gout. However, the concentrations used are generally so low that no effects are to be expected.

Dietary restrictions:
==============
Inosinates are generally produced from meat, but partly also from fish

who can over rule the Fiqh ?!! I don’t know if you have heard this word “figh” before or not. for your info

Fiqh = Shariah = Law

And that is not my rule but Fiqh: “any change in the substance entails change in the rule”

Dear Sana , I must say that do your homework and reread the article because you din’t get what is written in it.
One more thing, Would u tell me the process of “Viniger” that millions of people “swallow” / “eat” almost everday. Also tell me ….Is blood Halal or Haram? It is just one example for you for now.

In this article when it says Pure , that means Halal, Impure is Haram.
Halal or Haram is just an Arabic word for pure and impure, permitted and prohibbited.

Most of the new products which are containing such chemical elements are obtained by chemical processes. These processes are not a mere mixing up of what is Haram with what is Halal. it is a real change. Protein is different from gelatin. As such it is pure and can be used in products which are allowed. Vinegar, milk and salt are all examples of products extracted from impure substances. THAT MEANS CHANGE HAPPENS AND GET EFFECT AT MOLECULE LEVEL, IT BECOMES A NEW MOLECULE FORMATION OR COMPOSITION, AND THATS THE REASON IT BECOMES A NEW PRODUCT, ELEMENT AND/OR BECOME ENTIRLY NEW CHEMISTRY.

We need to be very careful when pronouncing anything to be forbidden (Haraam) by Allah. In addition we should also fear Allah in creating difficulties for Muslims or subjecting them to the inconveniences of unecessary restrictions.

WE MUST GO BACK TO BOOKS OF FIQH, HADEETH, AND REFER THIS CASE TO FOUR AUTHENTIC JURISTS “AEIMA OF ISLAM” AND THEIR ORIGINAL BOOKS. THESE FOUR ARE CONFIRMED AND AUTHENTIC “SCHOOL OF THOUGHT” IN ISLAM THAT TODAYS’ MUSLIM WORLD STILL FOLLOW.

In the light of what is mentioned below, and the widespread use of so many things which are becoming essential needs for Muslims, any substance which chemically changed from its original character becomes a new product and acceptable to use. And thats the ‘fiqh” rule: ‘any change in the substance entails change in the rule’ This includes:

1. Chemical preservatives, i.e. all E’ numbers
2. Soap made from fat, animal products or oil, deemed impure in its original form
3. Toothpaste
4. Wine Vinegar etc .

ADDITIVES

Additives are chemical elements. They are no more considered as the original material from which they are derived, the fiqh rule is: any change in the substance entails change in the rule’. This is the answer I give to those who inquire about what foods today are Halal. Many try to argue that any additive which contains an element of Haram makes a food itself Haram, based on the hadith, “any flesh grows out of suht (unlawful food) will not enter Paradise’. But there are two aspects to this: first, suht means unlawful. Ibn Mas’oud explained this word which is recorded in chapter 5 verse 42 of Tafseer Ibn Katheer as meaning ‘one who takes bribes’. Thus, Ibn Katheer first explained suht generally as anything unlawful or derived from unlawful means. Second, this hadith is weak, (see Kashful Khafa vol.2 page 176).

The Hanafi Position

Going to the substance of the letter. The purity of an additive is based upon the principle described (the change of the nature of the substance) . In vol. 1, page 314, Hashiya ibn Abedin, Radd al Muhtar ala ad-durr al Mukhtar, a standard Hanafi fiqh text book, written by Muhammad Ala’a al Deen Al Hasafki, there are more than thirty purifying things mentioned by Al Hasafki (rendered into a poetry form to make it easy to memorize) . In one line he said, ‘and change of substance” .

Ibn Abedin said, “the swine which drowns in a salt lake, after decomposition, becomes salt and thus halal”. Ibn Abedin based his comments on the saying of Al Hasafki regarding the manufacturing of vinegar made from wine. “According to the principle of change of substance, vinegar made of wine is lawful”. He then went on to say, “Vinegar made by mixing wine with water, according to the correct opinion, is pure”

One page 315, Al Hasafki has said that “soap made from impure oil is pure and can be used. Ibn Abedin, commenting on this said, “This is an example of change of substance”. he then went on to quote a statement issued by Al Mugtaba which reinforced Al Hasafki’s view that pure soap could be derived from oil that was not pure. A similar position was reflected by Muhammad ibn Al Hasan, the second great pupil of Abu Hanifa.

According to Ibn Abedin, the fat of a dead animal, used to make soap is subject to the same conditions. The expression used was impure (najas) as opposed to mutanajjis which means to make impure. However, oil is usually used in preference to other fatty substances. However, reading Al Munyah, I found an explanation which supports the first view, he states, “If a man or dog falls into the container in which soap is being made, it remains pure”.

Ibn Abedin goes on to say, “Know that a compound is deemed pure, according to Muhammad ibn Al Hasan, from the rule which allows for change of substance”. In addition, he adds that any product or substance, not only soap, can also be judged pure on account of its widespread use.

One page 326, on the subject of change of substance, as if to reinforce the point, al Hasafki says that dust and smoke particles rising from burnt human or animal excrement cannot be judged impure. If it were, he says, then we would be forbidden to eat bread baked on fires in which such impurities were used as fuel. The same can be said for salt filtered from animal-contaminated lakes.

This, concludes Ibn Abedin, is how any product or substance is judged to be pure or otherwise. Muhammad Al Dakhira, Al Muhit and Abu Hanifa are all of the same opinion. Other shaikhs choose to follow this ruling as well. This is the chosen rule for the Shar’iah ruled that these things were impure in their nature. The reality of a thing changes with the change of some of its implied parts, not to mention all of them. Salt is totally different from meat and bones. If they become salt, they are salt. What is similar to that in the Shar’iah is the life-germ (sperm), the beginning of human life. From a Hanafi point of view it is impure, then it is turned into a clot, it is still impure, then it becomes a lump of flesh and at this point it becomes pure.

The same goes for wine juice. it is pure, when it becomes wine it becomes impure, but when it turns to vinegar, it becomes pure. This is as far as the Hanafi school is concerned.

The Hanbali position

The Hanbali school’s attitude is quite different. In al Mughni by Ibn Qudamah, a Hanbali standard book, in the book of purity, section on utensils, he writes: ‘No impure thing could turn into pure as a result of the change in its substance except wine when it changes by itself into vinegar’.

But it could be deduced that all impure things become pure as a result of the change of its nature, analogous to the change of wine to vinegar is the skin of a dead animal when tanned and the domestic, edible birds and animal which eat excretion.

The Literalist position

According to the Literalist School: Ibn Hazm, the exponent of the Literalist school wrote in his manual (Al Muhalla) volume 1, page 166, problem no. 132: ‘If the excretion of the animal is burnt down or changed and becomes ashes or dust, all that becomes pure and can be used for tayammum (earth purification) . The proof of that is the fact that rules are in accordance with what Allah Most High, has ruled regarding the objects in what the object is named. If the name of the object is changed or dropped, the previous rule is dropped as well. It is something from that which Allah has named’. As such, excretion is different from dust, as it is different from ashes. The same thing with wine which is different from vinegar and human being is different from the blood from which he is created. The dead thing is different from dust or ashes.

In problem 136, page 178, he goes on to say: ‘If the quality of the substance of naturally impure object changes the name which was given to it so that it is no more applicable to it and it is given a new name which is given to a pure object, so it is no more an impure thing. It becomes a new object, with a new rule.

The same thing is true of a pure thing changing into impure thing such as juice becoming wine or the wine becoming vinegar. The pork flesh eaten by a chicken and becoming a chicken flesh. It is halal. The water becoming wine or the food turning into excretion, the excretion and the wine used as fertilizer or becoming a fruit and so many other things.

Al Qur’an

The basis of all these is the Qur’anic verse:

‘And surely there is a lesson for you in the cattle we give you to drink of what is in their bellies from between the faeces and blood, pure milk, wholesome to those who drink it’ (16-66)

Allah Most High, considers it one of the favours He bestowed upon people that a healthy pure animal product comes out of these impure things.

Conclusion

In the light of what is mentioned above, and the widespread use of so many things which are becoming essential needs for Muslim communities living in a non-Islamic environment, any substance which chemically changed from its original character becomes a new product and acceptable to use. This includes:

1. Chemical preservatives, i.e. all E’ numbers
2. Soap made from fat, animal products or oil, deemed impure in its original form
3. Toothpaste
4. Wine Vinegar
5. Gelatin and products containing it

To obtain gelatin from animal protein, it has to undergo a lengthy chemical process described in the Oxford dictionary of science as follows:

‘A colourless or pale yellow, water-soluble protein obtained by boiling collagen with water and evaporating the solution. It melts when water is added and dissolves in hot water to form a solution that sets to a gel on cooling’ (page 290)

This description shows the great change it undertakes and the new name it takes. On considering part of the Qur’anic verse of chapter 16 I quoted earlier, it is clear this process is like or similar to the process of obtaining milk out of the dirt inside the belly of the animal which Allah described as wholesome, palatable and pure.

In fact, most of the new products which are containing such chemical elements are obtained by chemical processes. These processes are not a mere mixing up of what is Haram with what is Halal. it is a real change. Protein is different from gelatin. As such it is pure and can be used in products which are allowed. Vinegar, milk and salt are all examples of products extracted from impure substances.

In fact the Hanafi view in this connection is much more advanced and liberal, particularly when we study the purifying aspects mentioned by Ad-Durr Al Mukhtar, which, by the way, includes boiling, tanning, slaughtering and dividing.

To hasten to say Haram without considering the process of change, to look into the original without considering the new product shows the inability to understand the world of science and chemistry advanced as it is nowadays and ignoring the needs of the Muslim communities in their new environment.

May Allah guide us on the right way.

Pepsi and Coca Cola contains extract from intestines of Pork (Pig) – Dr. Mangoshada scientifically proved.

Pepsi and Coca Cola Contains PORK (PIG) extracts – PROVEN!!
Shocking / Bad News :
Pepsi and Coca Cola contains extract from Pork (Pig)
Most of the people avoid Pepsi and Coca-Cola for various reasons:-
because of harmful chemical contents such as excessive carbonates, etc.
Now there is yet another reason which is more dangerous. The scientific and medical research says that drinking Pepsi & Cola leads to cancer because the key element is taken from Pigs sausage.
The pig is the only animal that eats dirt, dung and urine, which makes lethal and deadly fabric polluted germs and microbes.
According to a report published in Jordanian magazine, the Head of Delhi University Science and Technology , Dr. Mangoshada scientifically proved that the key element in Pepsi and Cola contains extract from the intestines of Pig which causes cancer and other deadly diseases.
The Indian university conducted tests on the impact of drinking Pepsi and Coca Cola which proved that drinking them lead to more rapid heart rate and low pressure.
Also drinking 6 bottles of Pepsi or Cola at a time causes instant death. It also contains chemicals such as carbonic and phosphoric acids, citric acid which harms teeth and causes bone fragility. Bones kept in the Cup of Pepsi melts during the week knowing that the bones of the dead remain in the grave for thirty years.
Research itself confirmed that the calcium dissolved in Pepsi and it weakens the bladder, kidneys, kills the pancreatic, leads to diabetes and infectious diseases.
Pepsi or Coca-Cola lovers, you have nothing to worry as it is not the only drinks available on this earth, as we have other healthy alternatives such as natural fruit juices, canned coconut water, flavoured milks, buttermilk etc., all of them are conveniently available even in the small stores.
