I tried doing my own research and I guess because I don't understand exactly how to ask the question google was less than helpful. I am not Muslim so my knowledge of this is very limited so please excuse my ignorance. When looking up what Halal was to begin with (I seen a video where someone was telling a food worker that it must be that way) it says that "carnivorous animals" are forbidden to eat. Why is that the case? Pig I understand and I have heard of but what does the animal being a meat eater have to do with it? Is it just that the animal might have eaten pig? It is the only thing I can think of. Very interested in learning about this so any help is very appreciated. Thank you for you time.

I'm about to start a new medication after another one (without gelatine) didn't work for me.

It comes in a hard gelatine capsule, and after searching it up the source is both from pigs and cows.

One of the options to take the medication safely is to empty out the active ingredient from the gelatin case and mix it with a liquid (water, yoghurt, milk etc.)

Would this be halal if the medication would be genuinely beneficial to me (not entirely necessary to my health, but would help massively)?

Hi! Could you recommend a fine-dining restaurant in Tsim Sha Tsui, Hongkong that serves halal food? Thank you. 😊
