assalamu alaykum…
i have heard there is some kind of rukhsa for gelatin in hanafi fiqh. is this true?

Walaikum assalam wa rahmatullah,
I pray that this finds you well, and in the best of health and spirits. May Allah grant you all good and success in this life and the next.
The sound position is that gelatin from non-slaughtered animals is filthy and impermissible to consume. Please search the SunniPath QA (http://qa.sunnipath.com) for related answers.
And Allah alone gives success.
