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: marine (stated); supplement function: active. status_condition: permissibility depends on the madhhab view of crustaceans (majority permit, strict Hanafi contest); finished-product status also depends on a halal capsule shell. Madhhab note: Majority (Shafi'i/Maliki/Hanbali) permit all sea creatures — krill (a crustacean) is HALAL; strict Hanafi view permits only fish among sea animals — krill oil is contested/mushbooh for Hanafi followers. Aggregation methodology, not scholar-ratified.
