Computed from named public guides — NOT independently scholar-ratified. For doubtful items, consult a scholar you trust. Halalyzer never invents a ruling and never uses AI for the verdict.

Origin class: plant (stated); supplement function: botanical extract. status_condition: HALAL only if ethanol is non-khamr source AND finished-product ethanol under 0.5% per JAKIM or under 0.1% per IFANCA; absent certification treat as MUSHBOOH. Madhhab note: Hanafi: permits non-khamr ethanol in trace non-intoxicating amounts (Darul Iftaa Birmingham); Maliki/Shafii/Hanbali majority: deliberately added ethanol as carrier impermissible regardless of source (SMIIC OIC Fiqh Academy Resolution 225). Aggregation methodology, not scholar-ratified.
