Halaal Haraam Food

Allah, in His mercy to us, in His desire for man to develop fully, has instructed us as to the types of food that are beneficial and those that are harmful. (Certain types of food are also probihited for reasons that are not easily discernable by us. Allah in His wisdom, is fully knowledgeable
about these reasons, however). The food that is beneficial is lawful for us and is called Halaal in Arabic. The unlawful food is called Haraam.

Let us look at what types of food are Haraam. Haraam food comes under several categories according to Mishkat. The first comprises of those mentioned in the Quranic verse 6:122 which states: And dont eat of that on which Allahs name has not been mentioned. That is surely a transgression.

According to commentators of the Holy Quran, this verse indicates that the meat of a lawful animal or bird which is not slaughtered in the name of Allah cannot be eaten by a Muslim. Thus, for example, the meat of a chicken, turkey or cow cannot be eaten unless that bird or animal had been killed Islamically.

The way of slaughtering an animal to make its meat permissible has been explained in greater detail in the Hadith of the Holy Prophet. It is called Zabah in Arabic. Except in abnormal circumstances such as when an animal is being hunted down, Zabah is performed by first reciting Bismillah hir Rahmaanir Raheem or Bismillah Allahu Akbar three times and then cutting 4 vital organs in the region between the throat, head and breast bone of the animal.

The four vital organs to cut are: the wind pipe, the gullet, and the 2 jugular veins. Very important to note is that the knife should not touch the spinal chord. This means that the head of the animal should not be cut off or the neck broken during slaughter.

The second category of food is everything that is offered to idols. In some cultures people offer food, for example milk, to idols and then drink it. This milk is not permissible for us to drink if it is offered to us. In the third category are all animals which die of themselves without the name of Allah being recited. This would include all animals strangled or beaten to death, or killed after being attacked by beasts or after falling.

In the next category are all beasts and birds of prey. In this category are all four legged creatures that use their teeth to seize their prey and all birds that seize their prey with their talons.

In the final category are all things injurious and repugnant to our health, life, morality, and intelligence. These would include unclean animals such as pigs, domesticated donkeys, cats, dogs, and also intoxicants like alcohol and drugs... and the strangled animal and that beaten to death, and that killed by being smitten with a horn, and that which wild beasts have eaten except what you slaughter.

The prohibitions mentioned above affect us by the fact that ingredients for food and other items we purchase may contain alcohol or may originate from animal sources. Because of this, knowledge of ingredients and how they are derived is very important.

Information for the article was gathered largely from the books:
Al-hadis of Mishkat-ul-Masabih A Guide To What Ingredients to Avoid and How to Select A Halaal Food Products.

Kosher symbols written on food items:

The symbols K, KD, U, UD, K PARVE, CRS, or KMH indicate that the product is Kosher.

This means that in many cases the food may be good for use (for further confirmation, however, one should contact the manufacturer). In a few cases the item may not be Halaal even though the Kosher symbol is written.

Two examples are:

Kosher gelatin indicated by a K symbol or written in the ingredients as Kosher gelatin. Kosher gelatin will only be Halaal if the item is marked with a U symbol

The ingredients contain L_ Cysteine and there is a U symbol written on the item. L_Cysteine is a dough conditioner that may be derived from animal horn, human hair or from petroleum synthetic materials. If it comes from human hair the item is Haraam because Islaam does not allow use of human hair in food.

  • Kosher symbols written on beverages

  • Kosher symbols written on beverages does not mean that these commodities are Halaal. This is because alcohol may still be an ingredient.
