What Makes a Food Halal?
So, what is halal food? Halal in Arabic means “lawful” or “permitted” and generally refers to what’s permitted under Islamic law. Halal’s counterpart is Haram, which means “unlawful” or “prohibited”. In terms of food, Halal is a form of eating which should be followed according to the Quran. Some foods are considered Halal why others are not. This can include meat, depending on how it’s slaughtered. If’s best to shop for foods with a Halal approved label or go to Halal approved restaurants.
