Question

I have a face cleaning skin care product that contains gelatin in it. im not exctly sure yet where that gelatin derives from but if it were to be pork gelatin would it be permissible for me to use?


Answer

Alhamdu Lillah

 

  If it proven to be a pork gelatin, then it should avoided as a Muslim is not allowed to contaminate himself with  filthy items. Also, there is no need for this product in particular since there are many other substitutes in the market.
