Cottonseed oil

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Fatwa.org.au
_ I work in a restaurant where they cook the food using cottonseed oil. Is cottonseed oil halal?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

_ Cottonseed oil is extracted from seeds of cotton plant. Unless it is established that some impure substance is used in the process of extracting oil from the seeds of cotton plant, cottonseed oil will be considered pure and halal.
