Quick Answer
Most commercial brands contain pork or beef gelatin.
Detailed Explanation
What is it?
Marshmallows is a popular snack.
Why it may be doubtful
Standard marshmallows found in US supermarkets (like Kraft or Jet-Puffed) are made with porcine (pork) gelatin, making them haram. Look for specifically labeled "Halal", "Vegan" (made with agar-agar), or "Kosher Fish Gelatin" marshmallows.
Fiqh considerations
General Islamic dietary principles require that ingredients be free from non-Zabiha meat, insects, and intoxicating alcohol.
Practical advice
Always read the latest ingredient label or use the allhalal.info scanner app, as manufacturers frequently change their recipes. Look for certified vegan or halal symbols where possible.
