The Ruling on Gelatin

Question :

Is gelatin forbidden?

Answer:

If gelatin is prepared from something forbidden, such as the pig or some parts of it, such as its skin, its bones and the like, then it is forbidden, for Allah, Most High says:
"Forbidden to you (for food) are: Al-Maitah (the dead animals cattle-beast not slaughtered), blood, the flesh of swine."

And the scholars are in agreement that pig fat is included in the prohibition. But if there is nothing in the production of the gelatin or in its substance which is from forbidden things, then there is no objection to it.

And Allah is the Granter of success.

May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet, Muhammad and upon his family and Companions.
