Is CBD Halal? Exploring The Ethical Consumption Of CBD

With the growing popularity of CBD as a wellness supplement, many practising Muslims are concerned about whether it aligns with their dietary laws. To put it simply—yes—CBD oil is considered halal by most Muslim scholars. Here’s a closer look at why CBD fits within halal guidelines and how you can ensure the Hempwell products you choose are compliant.

What Makes CBD Halal?

CBD is an organic plant that contains no THC. THC, is the psychoactive component of the plant that is deemed haram due to its’ ‘high’ effect. CBD does not cause any intoxication therefore it is deemed halal. The Qur’an prohibits substances that “curtain the mind,” but since CBD doesn’t have this effect, it is permissible.

Scholarly Perspectives

Islamic scholars generally agree that if a substance does not cause harm or intoxication, it can be considered halal. This view extends to medications containing minute amounts of otherwise haram substances, provided they are absorbed by the body and have no detectable trace.

Choosing Halal-Certified CBD Products

It is important to ensure that the CBD products you choose are free from THC or contain only negligible traces. Aligning with the Qur’anic teachings of kindness and compassion towards all creatures, Hempwell products are vegan and organically grown. The only products that are not vegan are our capsules and chocolates.

 We can ensure that our Isolate Oils, Food Products and Topical Creams have zero traces of THC and are Vegan. Our Broad-spectrum CBD oils have untraceable amounts of THC (>0.2%), these are generally considered halal because the quantities are too small to cause any intoxicating effects. 

Conclusion

CBD, when free from THC or containing only negligible amounts, is halal. Ensure you choose certified products from trustworthy sources that are vegan and cruelty free such as Hempwell. By doing so, you can confidently incorporate CBD into your wellness routine while adhering to Islamic dietary laws.
