Is Caramel Mud Cake Halal?
HARAM
It contains carmine, a red colour made from crushed cochineal insects; a halal mark or an insect-free colour would settle the concern.
Maliki — their opinion: carmine is allowed because insects have no flowing blood.
Hanafi, Shafi, Jafari, Zaydi, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: insect-derived colour is not allowed, so it should be avoided.
