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 CBD Products That Fit Halal Guidelines
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 (bovine gelatine) and chocolates. Our CBD gummies are vegan — made with fruit pectin rather than gelatine — as are our CBD oils; the full ingredients list is on every product page.
We can ensure that our isolated CBD based product have zero traces of THC and are Vegan. Our Broad-spectrum CBD oils have the THC removed during extraction, and our independent lab reports are published on our lab reports page so you can check this for yourself.
Conclusion
CBD, when free from THC or containing only negligible amounts, is halal. Choose products from trustworthy sources that publish their lab reports and use vegan, cruelty-free ingredients. By doing so, you can confidently incorporate CBD into your wellness routine while adhering to Islamic dietary laws.
