If i open a gelatin capsule, is the medicine inside now halal?

Determining the Halal Status of Opened Gelatin Capsules

1. Core Principle: Contamination by Contact
Residue on the Capsule Wall: Even if the drug is poured out, the gelatin component has penetrated the surface of the drug powder/particles (especially for fat-soluble drugs), making it impossible to physically separate.
Contamination During the Production Process: If the gelatin capsule itself is not halal (e.g., sourced from pigs or processed using alcohol), the drug may have been contaminated during encapsulation. 

2. Halal Independence of Drug Ingredients

3. Religious Authority Disapproval
Indonesia's MUI/Malaysia's JAKIM: Clear ruling: The capsule and contents are considered a whole; taking them apart is still a deliberate circumvention of Shariah.
Saudi Arabia's GCC Standards: If the capsule is halal, the contents, regardless of their ingredients, are considered contaminated and prohibited for Muslims.

4. Patient Self-Help Options (Limited Applicability)
Prescription Substitution: Ask your doctor to prescribe halal-certified tablets or plant-based capsules (such as hydropropyl methylcellulose capsules). Emergency: Only when there is no alternative medicine and life is in danger, it can be taken temporarily with the verbal permission of the imam, but repentance is still required afterwards.
