“GELATIN/GELATINE,”

Question

I have noticed that in many food products ‘GELATINE' is written in different ways gelatine, gelatin etc. Are they all the same and Haraam?

Answer

Yes they are all the same and the different spellings are originated from different languages. Regarding it being haraam: if the source of Gelatine is derived from a Halaal source then there is permissibility in its usage, whilst if the source is Haraam of doubtful Then it will be Haraam.
