i want to inform you that shellac (lakh magsool) is haram according to sanha (south african halal authority)

their answer in this regard is: "Shellac is a secretion of the lac insect which is related to the scale insects of the coccodea family. It is native to India and Mexico. Whilst Shellac is generally defined as a secretion of the lac insect, our investigations have revealed that Shellac does not only comprise of the secretion but also insect residue which cannot be avoided and thus forms part of the ingredient.
SANHA has researched, and consulted with various Muftīs on the issue of Shellac for almost two years and exhausted every possible angle on this issue. The Muftīs are unanimous that Shellac is not permitted for consumption".
