What we know
Named sources are on this page. Classification: Scholarly disagreement. Reputable named positions conflict. Each is shown. None is declared the winner.
What we don’t know
Which school you follow is not something Muttoo decides.
Why it matters
Reputable authorities disagree — positions shown, not resolved
What to verify
For CBD (Cannabidiol) in this product: is the source plant, synthetic, or animal? If animal, which species and slaughter method?
The detail
This is not a product certificate and not a licence to vape or smoke a flower. A gummy still inherits gelatin/pectin. A ‘0.0% THC’ claim is the manufacturer’s, not Muttoo’s. Follow the scholar you follow.
What the sources say
These positions genuinely conflict. We report each one; we do not pick a winner.
Based on this, if the CBD oil is composed of pure CBD and no THC is found in it, then it will be permissible to consume.
If the use of CBD does not result in intoxicating effects and will not be harmful to one’s body and health then it will not be impermissible to use. … Based on our understanding CBD without THC does not have intoxicating effects.
It will be permissible for you to use the oil extract from cannabis if you have been diagnosed with such an illness (by a medical doctor) that requires the use of this oil extract to cure your illness, and there is absolutely no other medicine/cure for it except this.
THC (Tetrahydrocannabinol) is the chemical responsible for most of marijuana’s psychological effects. THC is a controlled substance under the Misuse of Drugs Act 1971 and therefore not permitted. … Accordingly, it is permissible to use CBD oil for medicinal purposes.
How to check it yourself
Follow the scholar you follow. Then read THC on the lab report, then the carrier (MCT, hemp seed, ethanol), then the shell. Muttoo does not pick a Hanafi winner.

Birmingham: if the CBD oil is composed of pure CBD and no THC is found in it, then it will be permissible to consume.

Other ingredients — the bottle audit
Pharmacists do not certify a brand from the front of the tub. They read the shell, the lubricant, the carrier and the colour. Each line is a catalogue row. This is not a product certificate.
- Capsule shell. Gelatin, HPMC (hypromellose) or pullulan. Bare gelatin follows the capsule row — it is not the powder. Gelatin capsules · HPMC · Pullulan
- Glycerin / glycerol. Softgels and liquid drops. Plant or synthetic settles it; animal fat does not. The bottle rarely says which. E422 glycerol
- Magnesium stearate. The lubricant in most tablets. Vegetable or synthetic vs animal including porcine. A vegetarian capsule does not settle the powder inside. E572 magnesium stearate
- Flavourings. Natural flavour can hide an ethanol carrier. Vanilla extract is a different, disputed row. Natural flavours · Vanilla extract
- Colour. Carmine / cochineal (E120) is insect. Plant colours are a different page. Natural colour is not a plant guarantee. E120 carmine
Creatine powder is a different question from a creatine capsule. D3 wants lanolin vs lichen. Collagen wants a species.
