..i found a fatwa saying such a thing.
..i dint find no fiddy dollars though.
Ok maybe misrepresented for a moment.. it actually said pork gelatine was permissible.
Unfortunately there is no alternative..
It requires investment that people/governments do not want to make..
So i guess in part.. it is necessary.
Pork derived gelatine in vaccines cannot be negated by rose tinted idealism.
The fatwa went on to say all gelatine products are permissible..
And that stumped me.
But it has a lot of backing..
Maybe if they knew a lot of money can be made from halal vaccines things could be different..
I dont know how they work and you cant change things looking in from the outside.
But scientific progress driven by firm religious beliefs can be no bad thing lol..
I have no idea what a golden age looks like..
But i would say halal meat is important.
Preserving its integrity is a unifying matter in an un-unified community.
If you lose it.. you lose something you didnt even have awareness of.
I know thats not what OP is on about.. but it is a different time.. with different resources.
The importance of eating halal should not be downplayed..where possible..
Imo. :|
My department manager took me out to dinner once..
I was skeptical of the food and didnt end up eating much.
It was so awkward it was a new low even for me.
..and that may have contributed to me not getting a permanent contract at the end of my probationary period.
Although im an idiot in other ways too!
You makes your choices, you takes your chances.
