Gelatin capsules from pig ash \ bones

Question

We read in the quran that the flesh of swine is impermissible(occurs four times elsewhere in Quran)

“He has forbidden you only the Maytah (dead animals), and blood, and the flesh of swine, ...”

[al-Baqarah 2:173]

The bones of swine is used to extract gelatin to make drug capsules. Only the gelatin compound is extracted from the composite bone which certainly does not retain any of the impurities of the pig and is probably scientifically equivalent to cow gelatin, so how can a bone extract become Haram, whereas Allah swt has prohibited "flesh of swine" and not bone of swine?

Some relevant examples:

1. Urine is Najis , yet modern scientific techniques can extract 100% pure water (H2o) out of the urine, the source is impure , the derivation is pure

2. Animal Carcass(including pig) when buried under ground and a tomato plant grows over this soil then it would contain the nutrients found in the pig. DNA analysis can trace back the nutrients in the plants to the animal DNA. Yet the plant is Halal

Dead Carcass , pig and Non Zabiha meat and its organic components are indeed trivially Haram but can the same ruling apply when they are completely transformed in another form or specific elements extracted from them?

Answer 1

Saying that:

whereas Allah swt has prohibited "flesh of swine" and not bone of swine

Is against the consensus of scholars of Fiqh and Tafsir which was narrated by Imam Al-Qurtubi that all the swine is haram for eating including bone, skin and everything else.

They explain that the wisdom of mentioning the flesh because it is what people usually target to eat and considered to be the best part of the animal, so the meaning of the ayah does prohibit everything else beside the "flesh" such as bone and skin etc.
