Origin class: animal (unverified); supplement function: capsule. status_condition: Halal only when source is explicitly zabiha-certified bovine or marine; porcine source = HARAM. Madhhab note: Minority Hanafi/Maliki view allows gelatin by istihalah; majority of four Sunni schools and all major certifying bodies reject this for capsule gelatin. Aggregation methodology, not scholar-ratified.
