Is Jam Biscuits Halal?
HARAM
The jam contains carmine, a red colouring made from cochineal insects; we follow the cautious view and avoid it.
Maliki — their opinion: insects without flowing blood are permitted as food, so this colouring is allowed.
Hanafi — their opinion: insects other than locusts are not permitted as food. Shafi, Jafari, Hanbali — their opinion: insects are not food, though some scholars allow them as a colouring; they treat it as doubtful and avoid it.
