Q: I’d like to enquire about the permissibility of the consumption of carmine. I have tried to research this matter on the muftionline site but mainly see the answer to avoid it. I’d like clarification on it being a halaal/haraam item thus its permissibility.
I personally don’t consume it, yet a lot of products contain carmine & sometimes those from Arab countries that bear halaal logos, not finding a direct answer about its permissibility makes it a bit more difficult to warn family members from it’s consumption.

Q: I have moved into a new home. The previous owner was not Muslim. He had left some baking trays that fit into the oven that he left here which I presume he was not using. I am not sure if he would have cooked any haraam food with the trays. I wanted to throw his trays away but now some of my baking trays were placed in the same draw and they got mixed up so I don't know which are mine and which are his. Is it fine if I end up using the dishes that he used to cook with as long as its washed with sunlight and water?
