Overview

With growing minorities of Muslims in the West and travel all over the world, the issue of what constitutes ḥalāl (permissible) food has become even more important over time. Most Muslims are unclear in their minds as they have not read the injunctions in the Qur'an and the sayings of our noble Prophetﷺ. This is the first comprehensive book in English which quotes all verses of the Qur'ān on the subject, and all relevant ḥadīth and sunnah of Prophet Muḥammadﷺ, to provide an analysis of the requirements. It aims to remove confusion from our minds so that we may comply with the commands of Allah and save ourselves from sin on this count. The opinions of the different schools of thought among Muslims on the issues have also been analyzed.Some of the key issues discussed include-Is the non-ẕabīḥah meat sold in non-Muslim markets or restaurants permissible for Muslims?-What food of ahl al-kitab (Jews and Christians) is ḥalāl?-What is the Qur'anic position on ḥalāl and ẕabīḥah?-Is it essential to mention Allah's name at the time of slaughter?-What food is permissible according to the Bible?-Divine Mercy and love for all creatures. Eliminating cruelty towards animals.-Secular and religious laws and the practices in non-Muslim countries.-Islamic laws about hunting, consumption of non-domesticated creatures, and what creatures and food are ḥarām.-Not all ḥalāl is ẕabīḥah, but all ẕabīḥah is ḥalāl.-The Law of Necessity which permits consumption of ḥarām.-The Prophet and his companions were vegetarian most of the time.
