Is Liquorice Halal?
HALAL
It contains Emulsifier (471), whose fat may come from plants or animals, including pork; a plant or halal source is not stated.
Jafari, Zaydi — their opinion: an unstated source does not need investigation, so the emulsifier is allowed.
Hanafi, Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali, Ibadi — their opinion: the fat could be pork, so a plant or halal source must be named; processing does not change its ruling.
