Question: Assalamu alaykum
Is bone broth powder made from an animal that is halal (i.e chicken) but was not initially slaughtered in the Islamic manner still considered halal when taken for health reasons?
Answer: Wa ‘alaykum as-salam wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh
Thank you for your question.
It would not be permissible to consume bone broth from unslaughtered animals. Although bones themselves are deemed pure and one is allowed to benefit from them, it is very likely that the bones used to make the broth powder will have impure fat and meat on them. This renders the broth impure. A safer approach would be to purchase some bones from a halal butcher and make your own broth.
