Is Strawberry Mini Donuts Halal?
MUSHBOOH
Shellac, a shine made from resin secreted by the lac insect, is listed on these donuts; scholars differ over whether it is permissible.
Shafi, Maliki, Hanbali — their opinion: allowed, because refined shellac is an insect secretion, like honey, rather than the insect itself.
Hanafi, Jafari — their opinion: it should be avoided; Hanafi scholars object to its insect origin and possible insect parts, while Jafari scholars treat insect products as doubtful.
