Is Fat Spread Halal?
MUSHBOOH
It contains mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, whose fat may be plant-based or animal-based; a plant or halal source would settle it, but no label law requires the source to be stated.
Jafari, Zaydi — their opinion: an unstated source does not need investigation, so this is allowed.
Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: the fat could be pork, and processing does not change its ruling, so a plant or halal source is needed.
