Is Algal Oil halal to consume?
This oil is being used as a Vegan alternative for omega 3 supplements.
Answer
Assalāmuʿalaykum Wa Raḥmatullāhi Wa Barakātuh
The Jurists have stated:
“The default position of everything is permissibility (unless proven otherwise)”
Based on the above, since there are no factors and elements which contribute to the impermissibility of Algal Oil, it will be permissible for consumption.
And Allaah Ta’aala knows best
Wassalaam,
