Monoglyceride & Diglyceride
Someone brought some candy from US.. and my Muslim friend wants to eat it.. so I checked it first whether it is halal or not.. then i found monoglyceride and diglyceride in the ingredients.. and guess what?? below are what wikipedia says about them:
"The commercial source may be either animal (cow- or hog-derived (e.g., pig)) or vegetable, derived primarily from soy bean and canola oil. They may also be synthetically produced. They are often found in bakery products, beverages, ice cream, chewing gum, shortening, whipped toppings, margarine, and confections"
So.. to my other Muslim friends.. just be careful what you are eating kay.. ^_^

Why not follow the rules.When an unpure thing is tranformed by any physical or chemical process, the purification by change of structure (استحالهapplies. Therefore fatty matters,gelatine, leather and others from pig or other impure sources, have undergone changes, which make them " مباح".
