Haraam Food & Drinks

Q: I have recently found out naturally brewed Soy Sauce contains alcohol. I am confused as I don't believe Soy Sauce is an intoxicant, however there are fatwas saying it is Halal and people saying it is Haram. Can you advise?

Q: What is the ruling on bovine gelatine which comes from beef? Is it ok to use if you know that there are certain conditions to make its use on?

Q: I mistakenly took a gelatine capsule. I have made alot of taubah but am afraid that the effect of the haraam will fall onto me. It was completely unintended.

Q: I have been notified that some breads, pizzas, etc. has e920 in its ingredients. I have searched it up and it means it has human hair. What is the masala regarding this?

Q: Is poppy seed haraam?

Q: I bought a pack of mince pies today, which unfortunately contain brandy; however not sure what percentage it contains. To the best of my knowledge, the rest of the ingredients are halaal. I bought the same pack once before, and noticed the ingredients mentioned brandy, but decided to throw them away as to be on the safe side. Now, not sure that was the appropriate action to have taken. I bought the same packet, this time round forgetting about the brandy issue associated with it! My question is; what should I do with this packet of 6 mince pies? Should I throw them away? Give them away? Eat them? How do I go about this problem brother? Thanking you for your time and efforts.

Q: Is gelatine haram? What about jellies and jam? Is gelatine included in it?

Q: I have come across a video that is taken from a TV show in Pakistan showing pakistani army members eating snakes and killing chicken with their teeth and drinking its blood and not saying Allah's name while killing. They do all this while safe in their bases where they have all the halaal food available and the means to slaughter the animals is also available. But they are doing this as an exercise for survival if they are lost in a jungle or behind enemy lines. I want to have an Islamic point of view regarding this practice. Is it halaal or haram. Many Muslims who join the army are made to eat many haram animals during their training. Is this all justified by the "necessity" of training the troops?

Q: I would like to know the halaal status of weevils found in rice, oats, seeds etc.

Q: Many sweets that have the MJC halaal logo, list beef gelatine as an ingredient. I wanted to know if there is actually such a thing as halaal gelatine?
