What is the ruling on consuming protein and amino acid supplements, given that the manufacturing companies state they are not halal, while the ingredients do not contain prohibited items such as pork or alcohol, and these products are sold in Islamic countries without alteration?
We have previously clarified the ruling on dietary supplements, and it is not within our purview to ascertain the true composition of the mentioned products. To rule on a specific product, its ingredients must be known with precision.
We suffice by referring you to fatwas that address the ruling on substances containing pork derivatives or alcohol. The manufacturer's statement is the decisive factor in knowing the ingredients of their products.
If they contain prohibited substances, it is necessary to verify whether they have been processed to the point of transformation into other substances or not.
