How to stay Halal?

[Sumaiya54]

Asalaamu Aleikum,

I have just converted and am going to wait to tell my parents about my conversion for a few weeks. The thing is, I have to go to a Passover Satyr this weekend where they will have meat that IS NOT kosher (I asked), but I dont really want to act as if I dont like the meat and not eat it. Should I just eat the meat or lie and say I am a vegetarian?

Salaam :)

:sl: sister,

I have to go to a Passover Satyr

Forgive me but what does Satyr mean in this context I know what the word means but never seen it follow passover.. it is a mock holiday?
If it isn't then you must ask them to stay kosher, otherwise what's the point? No need to lie.. Say you want Kosher/Halal or simply just eat the side dishes..

:w:

About halal, Quran says every part of part. only flow able blood, pit meat & that which don't take name of Allah. Friend, I share with you as simply. wish u good luck. thanks.

how old are you? I ask because if you still live with parents its pretty challenging and its different to stay halal vs you living on your own. If you don't live with them, just don't eat the meat. For me personally, it was a process with my family. At first i used to say meat made me sick and that i stopped eating it after certain times of the day, eventually when they all got used to the idea that I'm a muslim, I started to explain why i don't eat meat at their gatherings and even though they don't like what I do, they accept it. Make it easy for them too though, if ur a convert it will benefit u in the long run the more peaceful u make things, inshaAllah.

Don't eat the meat.

Be polite about it, but firm. And ask Allah to help you through this trial most of all.

Insha-Allah, you will be ok.

Isn't it just pork, blood and carrion that are forbidden in the Holy Qur'an? I am quite new to Islam myself and I know even less about the Jewish faith, other than they cannot eat meat from certain parts of animals or something like that. From what I have read, you can eat these forbidden items if no other choice (ie you are forced to eat it or you are starving and its either eat it or die, then Allah will allow you to eat it)

My suggestion at this dinner, eat a large salad, soup, the sides and then just be too full to enjoy the meat, or only ask for very little of it or say you are saying room for dessert.

Thanks everyone for answering the meat was kosher after all and kosher meat is Halal!

Salaam :)
