Is it halal to consume Sevenseas cod liver oil capsules made of gelatine?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftisays.com
Assalam alaikum, dear schalor.
I’ve been using cod liver oil capsules(company:Sevenseas) that are made up of gelatine.I would like to know is it permissible to consume this form of gelatine.

Answer
Assalamu Alaykum wa Rahmatullah,

One must find out the source of the gelatine before one can consume. As a rule of thumb, consider gelatine (kosher or otherwise) as Haraam unless proved otherwise. Fish gelatine is suitable as a substitute. Generally porcine or bovine based gelatine is commonly used which is Haraam.

Jazaakumullah and request for Du’aas
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
