Muslim gelatine?!
Answers: can muslim people eat gelatine yes or no straight answer
Gelatin derived from animals and plants.
The skins of animals are left to putrefy or "cure" for about a month. After the hides are ripe, a tractor pushes them into a vat of acid that disintegrates the animals' hairs, skin, cartilage, etc., into a nice, tasty, homogenized gel.
Recently, S'pore & Malaysia stopped importing gelatin from China once discovered they are extracted from the collagen inside PIG's connective tissue.
Alternatively now, both countries are importing from Pakistan, which these geletin derived from cows. But my doubt is know, can the INDIANS eat it?
Gelatin derived from plants are expensive. So far I know there are a few producers in India.
not if it is rendered from an animal.
If it is rendered from plants (carageenan?) yes.
No.
They can eat whatever they want. They choose not to.
To other posters: Gelatin is ONLY from animals. If something is thickened with agar agar or carrageenan, it's going to be labeled as agar agar or carrageenan.
No, if it's made from pigs trotters. Yes if it's made from agar agar (seaweed) or Carageen. Agar agar is available from health food shops. I
No.
As long as it is from an animal that is not haram.
The animal must be killed in the manner according to Islamic law, and it cannot be a pig.
My muslim friends use Kosher gelatine made from fish.
some of the other answers are correct, some are just plain stupid. They don't know what they are talking about. I can tell you that beef gelatin exists. We used it for jello in Muslim countries. The problem is that it is usually so warm in those countries that gelatin melts. So most dessert type products are made with agar (or carregeenen).

I thought Muslims use gelatin from goats heads.
