Question

peace be upon you. is the kosher gelatin halal.


Answer
All praise be to Allah and may His blessings and peace be on His last messenger, Muhammad, Yes, since their meet is halaal for us to eat, and kosher foods are slaughtered by Jews and they don’t compromise in that regard. It is important to caution you that Jews may have foods labeled kosher and they contain wine. Therefore, kosher is not synonymous with halal. In the case of gelatin, it is halal. Allah knows best.
