[edit] Gelatin

Is gelatine considered haraam by all Muslim scholars? I have read of a contradictory opinion... See: Salafitalk- Ruling on Gelatin--Nabilqureshi 05:31, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Gelatin / Gelatine - haram if obtained from pork or non-halal meat sources - the source is sometimes mentioned on the ingredients list. A vegetarian alternative is available.

Depends. Gelatin, when a chemical change happens in its creation (which is how Gelatin is made in the West), is considered Halal by the majority of scholars; both Sunni and Shia. Armyrifle 21:38, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] References needed on harām

"The category of harām also includes all manner of forbidden behaviours, from adultery to siding with a non-Muslim power against Muslims in war."

This is very interesting and I would think that references (Q'uran or other teachings) would be useful.

Yea, I was just going to ask for that as well. I think the first sentence is correct but I really doubt the second one.--Zhang Lmao 07:48, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move proposal

Proposal: move to Haram. This is the normal romanization used in English-speaking regions and the first letter of the current title shows up as an empty square box. Badagnani 02:25, 26 June 2007 (UTC)

Agreed. WP:UE dictates that all article titles should use the Roman alphabet. Korossyl 11:15, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

The move would not be to Haram (as that is an article on the "sanctuary") but Haraam (which is a re-direct to this article). To be consistent I would also suggest proposing to move Halal to Halaal. → AA ^{(talk • contribs)} — 11:49, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

I've been bold and seeing as there have been no objections, made the move. → AA ^{(talk • contribs)} — 12:42, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Adultery

It is not adultery to have sex with "(the captives) whom their right hands possess". What does that mean? DHR (talk) 02:11, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

It means it's permissible to rape slaves. User: anon, 6 January 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.222.132.38 (talk) 08:30, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
