I would love to help except I have no clue what a 'shellac' happens to be. Is it a sisterly thing? That would probably explain why it is that I do not know or I am just plain dumb.

No, no, no... we can't be having that, there's only room on Ummah.com for one dumb person- I'm the most dumbest dumberest dumb person here. Look I can prove it see--->@) that there is me, with all my features in tact, so kalas lets move on to find out what 'shellac' is.

Hmmm, let me get that straight bro from what you've deduced 'shellac' is some type of shining thing a majig??? But that would make no sense- who (apart from dumb people) would wonder if thats halal let alone wanna scoffle that stuff down???

Or did you mean mixed-race French and Polish nationalitie's offsprings are made out of this 'shellac' stuff??? Hmmm, nah even a dumb bloke like me knows humans (any type even evil ones) are not made from these stuff but other things. Also who would want to eat human beings (not to be mistaken with humanguous beans) anyways let alone put a thought whether their halal or haram to consume.... a Muslim cannibal perhaps, but no I'm sure there is a more reasonable explanation (I pray so -pray: ).


So er the mystery continues....

Dude! You think too much.

[warwick]

[Abu Noah]

Dude! You think too much.

Tis true na'am- I have been plagued with this epidemic since I was a little child (before the jokes por in laa' I am unfortnately not one any longer-tis a pitty.).

It all began when I glanced outside my window one lovely rainy morning and saw subhana'allah what was to me a very moving sight, a little kitten trying its best to take some shelter from the shower whilst remaining on guard from side to side of not being cat-napped or harmed from others.....

I would go on except already I'm sure your bored of my tail (sorry that should be tale) so lest you wish to do alittle detour from our investigation on the haram or halal of that illusive 'shellac' substance I shall say no more about the tail I call 'Little Kitty and Me' an apt purrfect title I am sure you'll agree.

as far as I know shellac is haram.. but if I get more info I'll paste inshaAllah.. I remember doing some research on it and realised it comes from insects..

[ur_yusra]

Shellac - Source: insect secretion. Use: in glaze for confectionery products and in chocolate panning....

if u look on that site it says sanatogen multivitamins are haram because they contain shellac.. something I didnt know..where I work alot of people by these multi vitamins, guess after some more clarification I may end up having to stop them.. (the muslims i mean)..

its halal actually:
http://www.gmwa.org.uk/foodguide2/viewquestion.php?foodqid=68&catID=1&compID=1

the one u gotta watch out for is Cochineal or E120, which is used as a red colouring. Basically they get it from the dead body of an insect. and ive read that according to the hanafi madhab all insects are haram except for locust, Sweets like smarties use E120 for the red smarties, so dont eat smarties everyone!

[ur_yusra]

ok haqa jazakaAllahu khere for the info... I guess theres a difference of opinion on the matter since some sites say its haram and the one u gave says its halal..
