excipient (gelatin, dual-origin) · ingredient
Two-piece capsule shell of gelatin (bovine or porcine source). Source-dependent: porcine HARAM, bovine doubtful when slaughter unverified — conservatively MUSHBOOH. HPMC ('vegetarian') capsules are the halal alternative. Darura (necessity, Quran 2:173) permits a prescribed medicine with no halal equivalent — consult a pharmacist; this verdict reflects the ingredient source, not a prohibition on necessary treatment.
