What is Istihalah(اِسْتِحَالَة)?

What is Istihalah(اِسْتِحَالَة) or Istihal(استهلا)? & Is it true that some Haram foods can be turned in to halal?
For example the example of Bovine Gelatin, I heard that it is always halal regardless of whether the animal was slaughtered by the people of the book or not because they say it goes through a metamorphosis where it completely changed the original bones into a different product & that this process is known as Istihalah which makes it halal

Is this true?
 
I am sorry, I do not have enough information to give a definitive answer on this issue at the moment.


This topic involves detailed scholarly discussion regarding Istihalah and its application, and it requires clear evidences from the Qur’an, authentic Sunnah, and the explanations of the scholars.


If any knowledgeable forum member would like to shed light on this matter on the basis of authentic evidences and reliable scholarly references, they are most welcome to do so.


جزاكم الله خيرًا
