Question:
Assalamu ‘Alaikum
I eat alot of Nestle chocolates. I went on their website today just to check whether they had any animal derived products in them. This is what it said:
“All products on this list are free from meat, fish and their derivatives.
Please note: Some products on this list have been fortified with Vitamin D3 sourced from lanolin (sheep’s wool).”
Are such products halal or haram?
Jazakallah. Assalamu ‘Alaikum
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
Vitamin D3 sourced from lanolin (sheep’s wool) is halal. When fiqh discusses the ruling of meat, the skin of the animal is ruled as halal to consume.
