I have been told it is haraam to eat anything containing Whey Powder, what is the fatwaa regarding this?
According to our understanding of whey powder, it is the liquid after milk forms into curd.
Accordingly, there is no reason for whey powder to be Haraam. If the powder has any other Haraam ingredients, then out ruling will be different.
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
Mufti Ebrahim Desai
