Halaal and Haraam foods

[aamirsaab]

I thought that it might be useful if we all put some foods (like a list) that are halaal/haraam on here so that we all know init?
please note that some products maybe halaal in some countries but not in others (i.e. in pakistan burger king chicken burger is halaal cus they use halaal meat but in england and american is haraam. so please specify country)

Country: UK and possibly US (most other countries as well)
halaal: Malteasers (nestle), Milkyway magic stars, Milkybar, Trollie Jellie, Walkers crips - all varities (but techincally we shouldnt eat the pork flavour as it is haraam to eat pork even thoug on the crisps its just the flavouring. iv tasted the chicken but it tastes nasty - bleugh) Similarly most crisps are halaal and so its not worth putting down their names.

Haraam: Haribo - this is absolute haram - they use beef gelatine and pork gelatine. even in the cola bottles!!! (the alternative is to get ur jelly sweets from trollie jelly company cus they are basically ' halaal haribo')

hope this helped

NOTE:

Please check the ingredients of every food brand, which you use. Also check any or all-new products you use before making your purchase. If you have any doubts, you may write or phone to the manufacturer, so far they have been very helpful to us and it will put your mind at ease.

Sorce:http://www.jamiaislamia.org/halalharam.htm

[SpaceFalcon2001]

I warn anyone judging their food status on the plain letter K (as the article suggests). A plain letter K only means the company CONSIDERS it's product to be Kosher. It is not checked by anyone (since the letter K can not be trademarked), and is no more Halal/Kosher than an unmarked food. It could technically have anything in it, and since many companies do not list baking ingredients that are not directly in the food (such as Lard, Pork Fat), you may want to consult a local authority on the matter.

Check http://www.kashrut.com/agencies/ for a number of Kosher symbols, although you will still want to check with a local authority to see if the product complies with Halal (in case of alcohol). Some ingredients mean different things in order to be Kosher, such as Gelatin (Kosher Gelatin is made from fish, rather than other animals and/or Pork).

Assalamu'Alaykum

jazakallah brother, i really didnt do anything all i did was copy and paste and just ajusted a few things. I hope its of benfit to the brothers and sisters that read it.

[ummnoura]

Assalamu Alaikum Brothers & Sisters,

I have a few questions. One about E numbers. I am just learning that here in America we can't eat hardly anything lol. I mean who knows whats in anything here anymore, even are vegtables are mutants and chemically engineered and full of pesticides! I've ran across something called E numbers like these
E-100 E-110 E-120 E-140 E-141 E-153 E-160a E-210
E-213 E-214 E-216 E-234 E-252 E-270 E-280 E-325
E-326 E-327 E-334 E-335 E-336 E-337 E-422e E-430
E-431 E-432 E-433 E-434 E-435 E-436 E-440 E-470
E-471 E-472a-e E-473 E-474 E-475 E-476 E-477 E-478
E-481 E-482 E-483 E-491 E-492 E-493 E-494 E-495
E-542 E-570 E-572 E-631 E-635 E-640 E-904 E-920 They are all Haram

And i guess basically all those are ingredients that contain animal products and or alchohol? I am wondering how to get the latest info on them and whats the ruling on percentages if its less than part of a percent is it really bad. I have no idea what is in most of my food right now. I mean natural flavorings can be anything. Right now i dont eat anything with pork but im still consuming america meat products that are not pork. Its not practical for my family to be vegetarians and the availability of halal meat is scarce. I've also been told that alot of the halal meat in America isn't really halal. I dont have more info than that but what are the choices for people living in America? I'm not sure i am ready to cut out all the foods considered haram. Even more than half the bread, ice cream, cheese everthing has some type of animal product in it. Is starting with all Pork products and alcohol atleast the best way to start. Almost every item in my pantry has monosodiumdiglyserides and blah blah blah. I dont know........... What can we do?

Im sorry if i seem weak in my deen its just a very trying thing to find out everything you've always ate you can't. I bought some cookies the other day that i've ate for years and after i ate two i found out the chocolate chips contain alcohol! Its just dismaying. :-[

Any Advice?


Your New Muslim Sister :sister:

Kristy

[Nakisai]

where did you hear this at=?

[Safa]

Salam sister,

where do find these numbers? are they labeled on the food?

You should try to get halal meat from stores where you find live poultry. From there they slaughter the poultry the islamic way while you say Allahu Akbar. Most of the packaged meat you find in groceries or in whatever store are not halal anyway and should be avoided. And as for other food products, we are allowed to eat kosher food, and kosher meat also.

wa'salam

[ummnoura]

I found these numbers online...... It said they are on certain labels. I have yet to find them on my food but maybe because i dont have much processed food. I dont know maybe someone else knows more.

[aamirsaab]

:sl:
having trouble combatting those dreaded E-numbers? Fear not, for superma..i mean.. er.. aamir is here..i guess.
Ok, firstly, when you are buying the product check the ingredients. If it says suitable for vegetarians then your allowed it. If it contains gelatine or any of the E numbers listed in your first post then don't pick it up. simple init. Most E - numbers you can eat, however, they make children go hyper. E471 I know for a fact is haraam so if you see that number present in the ingredients, don't buy it.

As for the haraam/halaal meat. hmm, I live in UK so there is plenty of halaal food places. However, i would advise you to ask fellow muslims in America where they buy their halaal food etc. go to a mosque and ask them for all the halaal food shops. Other than that, i dunno what you can do :confused:.

Thank you so much i spent some time searching and reading more on the subject. I will be printing the list you gave. Its very good information.

[Umm Yoosuf]

Ya Allah!

I was told all the E471, E472 etc are Haram. And i always avoided it until oneday i brought this bread suitable for veg's and it contend E471! hmmm...

[A7med]

it depends what type of E471 they use in products

[Umm Yoosuf]

Huh? How im a surppose to know that?!

[A7med]

LOL!!!!! just common sence.....
one person tell u E471 is HRAM......and then u buy bread with E471 in it but it say it is sutable for vegies

so that means there must be differemt types of E471s :D
If u get me

[Shekh_05]

Aslaama Alaikuim this is brother abdulkadir in islamic board tellin all muslims what is haram.

Brothers and sisters iam here to tell u twizzlers, starburst, skittles, bacon, pepsi vanilla, anything that has gelatin in it is very haram sisters and brothers in islam please watch out for these things remember the hadith the rasul (scw) talked about haram things and and halal things and what are hiddin in these halal foods that we eat plaese be alarmin for these kind of things waslaama Aliakum warxmatulalahi wabrakatu.

:) :) :) :) :)

[Zuko]

Salaam,

I heard starburst wasn't haraam, but oh well... I guess I'll stop.. And if you don't mind, I want to know, is caffeine haraam? Some people say yeah, and some say no... Just curious...

Salaam

[czgibson]

Brothers and sisters iam here to tell u twizzlers, starburst, skittles, bacon, pepsi vanilla, anything that has gelatin in it is very haram

Not being funny, but why are these things haraam? Do they all contain pork products? Just curious.

[aamirsaab]

:sl:
Allow me to explain czgibson. Gelatine is derived from animal fat. If the animal is not halaal (e.g. not slaughtered in a certain way) then the gelatin from that animal is haraam.

Brothers and sisters iam here to tell u twizzlers, starburst, skittles, bacon, pepsi vanilla, anything that has gelatin in it is very haram

Well, most muslims know that bacon is haraam ;). But pepsi vanilla? I wasn't aware that gelatin was used in drinks. Jazakallah kheir for the information though. But last time i checked, starbursts and skittles had no gelatin in them.

[minaz]

............twizzlers,....bacon....anything that has gelatin in it is very haram

No kiddin'

is caffeine haraam?

Lol doubt it - I aint giving up my latte's!

[Zuko]

I aint giving up my latte's!

NOR WILL I...

[minaz]

nah i don't think it's haraam why would it be?, anywho what i do think should be classed as haraam is FAGS!

I don't know what to make of this:

CAIRO, August 3, (IslamOnline.net) - The UK Muslim Law Council has given the Muslim community the go-ahead to buy soft drinks containing tiny traces of alcohol and pork by-products, a British daily reported Monday, August 2.

The council, Britain’s highest authority on halal food, has issued a fatwa making Lucozade and Ribena the first British soft drinks fit for Muslims, following deep Muslim concerns about ingredients in the brands, The Guardian said.

“I see no harm in consuming Ribena and Lucozade which contain traces of ethyl alcohol and animal ingredients that do not bear their original qualities and do not change the taste, color or smell of the product,” Zaki Badawi, the UK Muslim Law Council chair and former adviser on Islam to the Prince of Wales, concluded.

Zaki, however, urged the drinks maker to pursue research to find alternative material in order to allay the conscience of Muslims who might be worried.

The council's ruling was welcomed by GlaxoSmithKline, the company producing the drinks.

“Soft drinks are non-alcoholic, we welcome this confirmation and hope that it can reassure those consumers who were concerned,” a spokesman for the company told the BBC News Online said.

Muslims have voiced concerns about the brands as Lucozade contains 0.01% of ethyl alcohol to aid flavoring while the filter used to produce Ribena is made of gelatin, which is derived from pigs.

The fears prompted GlaxoSmithKline to seek a religion opinion from the Muslim Law Council after Muslim consumers stopped buying its products.

It took the British company five months to get the Council’s fatwa.

The British newspaper said an incident from the life of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) helped Zaki reach his conclusion.

It cited the Prophet’s drinking of liquid produced from soaking raisins in water for several days. The scientists found that the mixture would ferment, producing alcohol, the paper added.

But Sheikh Abdul-Majeed Subh, a prominent Azharite scholar, said that raisins or dates used to be soaked in water for the Prophet, who used to drink it in the first and second days only.

“In the third day, he used to give it to his Companions—and this is an indication that it was not yet fermented. Afterwards if it was fermented, they used to pour it,” IslamOnline.net quoted Subh as saying.

Controversial

There is no unanimity, in effect, on soft drinks containing minute traces of alcohol.

Some scholars totally forbid any percentage of alcohol in drinks, arguing that it permeates the entire drink and change its qualities.

But Dr. Ahmad Sakr, the director of the California-based Foundation For Islamic knowledge, told IOL that scientists and scholars from the Islamic Food Council agree that from 0.01 to 0.05 percentage is insignificant.

The scholars, however, agree that there is nothing wrong in drinks containing animal gelatin.

Dr. Nazih Hammad, a member of the Islamic Fiqh Academy and Fiqh Council of North America, explains: “Because even if it [the gelatin] is made from haram meat it has undergone fundamental process of transformation through certain chemical changes that is called “Istihalah” in Islamic law”.

“So, the ruling of pork does not apply to it anymore and we are still allowed to use it.”

:w:

[minaz]

Don't mind alcohol (before anyone says I don't drink!), but pork c'mon man that's not right

[aamirsaab]

:sl:
The alcohol part I can live with as this is also present in certain brands of bread - without this small trace of it the bread wouldnt be bread if you know what I mean. The gelatine, hmm. Well, if the filter used is made of gelatine, then..but that would mean...:confused:

“They ask you (O Muhammad) concerning alcoholic drink and gambling. Say: ‘In them is a great sin, and (some) benefits for men, but the sin of them is greater than their benefit’”
[al-Baqarah 2:219]

“O you who believe! Intoxicants, gambling, al-ansaab [animals that are sacrificed on stone altars for idols], and al-azlaam [arrows for seeking luck or decision], are an abomination of Shaytaan’s handiwork. So avoid (strictly all) that (abomination) in order that you may be successful. Shaytaan wants only to excite enmity and hatred between you with intoxicants and gambling, and hinder you from the remembrance of Allaah and from al-salaah (the prayer).

That maybe so but do remember that the percentage of alcohol inside the product is a very small (0.01%) by-product. As I stated earlier, the same percentage is also present in bread. I read an article about that someplace.

Most baked products with listed contents indicating they contained yeast did in fact have some alcohol present. Alcohol is produced by the fermentation process in yeasts by their action on simple sugars used in preparing the dough....Although most of the alcohol in the dough is lost during the baking process, some is evidently retained in the matrix of the bread...

I live in the uk and the uk is tiny compared to America but still we can find alot of Halaal foods and meat . WALMART is massive in America and we have ASDA and alot of the food is stated suitable for vegetarians although we do have to check if it has alcohol in but this is a minor set back, as for meat I would get in touch with your local mosque or practising muslims and ask them about Halaal meat , I beg u not to buy haraam chicken or lamb, mutton as ALLAH will reward u for finding out and buying halal , please forgive me if i have said any thing to offend you.

Your over re-acting. If you clearly read what i was refering to I wasn't personally talking about meat. Since i know meat not preaped in the way of Islam is haram. I was was talking about E-Numbers. People give you a long list of E-Numbers that have not been verified by the 'Ulimah, and when you go into a super market you can't buy alot. You walk out with a few.

It might be halal though. I'd love to be proven wrong since they're a taste sensation. :)

If not given, I don't ponder either way.

They might be unable to offer the proof but it doesn't make their claim any less true. For instance, if someone loses in a debate it doesn't necessarily mean that they were wrong. It could just mean that they were unable to address some of the points that the opponent gave them. Ok, maybe a poor analogy but I can think of better ones!

if you wasnt in doubt then that could only be if you were 100% sure that this flavour is halaal - so either way, the people that say they are haraam are uncertain hence in doubt, and your not 100% certain that they are halaal hence your in doubt too, therefore we shouldn't buy the product unless we have absolute certainty (100% proof) that it is halaal.

[ishkabab]

HALAAL GUIDELINES FOR A MUSLIM DIET

On the authority of Abu Huraira (May Allah be pleased with him) who said, The Messenger of Allah (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said,

"Allah, the Almighty is pure and accepts only that which is pure. Allah has commanded the faithful to do that which he commanded the messengers, and the Almighty has said, 'O` ye Messengers! Eat of the pure things, and do righteous actions'. And Allah the Almighty has said: "O` ye who believe! Eat of the pure things wherewith we have provided you." Then he mentioned (the case of) a man who, having journeyed far, is disheveled and dusty and who spreads out his hands to the sky (saying): O' Lord! -- While his food is unlawful, his drink unlawful, and he is nourished unlawfully, so how can his supplication be answered!" (Muslim)

Islamic Law has given clear guidance in respect of Halaal (lawful) and Haraam (Unlawful) based on the teachings of the Noble Qur'an and the Sunnah (Teachings of the Holy Prophet Sallallaahu AAlayhi Wasallam).

What is Halaal (permissible) is declared from the Qur'anic injunctions and Muslims are commanded to strictly adhere to these injunctions in all aspects of life.

Almighty Allah Taála says, "People of Imaan! Eat of the pure things (Halaal) that We have provided for you, and be grateful to Allah Taála" (Surah Baqarah 2:172)

The Holy Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) has declared, "Whatever Allah Taála has declared lawful in His Book (Noble Qur'an is lawful, and whatever He has declared unlawful is unlawful, and whatever He remained silent about is forgiven. Then accept those bounties of Allah because Allah does not forget anything".

Understanding of the term Halaal and Haraam

Halaal: Lawful and Permissible / can be used.
Haraam: Unlawful and Impermissible / abstain from it / totally forbidden.

Ingredients to be checked in any product:



Alcohol or liquor


Animal gelatine


Animal Fats or Rennet

If any product has any one of these Three (3) as an ingredient then it will be Haraam/Impermissible to consume or use.

Special Points should be noted



Pork and pork products are totally forbidden.


As for dairy products like cheese and margarine only microbial (of plant origin) rennet is permissible.


The utensils should be separate for Muslims. There should be no contamination of Halaal and non-Halaal.


Any item marked or stamped with any form of Halaal certification must be verified by Appointed the Muslim theologians, who are well versed with the Islamic requirements regarding Halaal.


As for imported chickens and meat we cannot guarantee their Halaal status as we do not inspect their respective plants and are not familiar of the Halaal procedure.


Consumption of any morsel of Haraam, affects the acceptance of Ibaadat (worship).

The following foods are permissible for Muslims



Fish


All types of poultry, partridges, pigeons, etc.


Goats, sheep, cattle, camel and all types of buck, buffalo.


Rabbits

The above must be slaughtered by a Muslim according to Islamic rules, otherwise their meat will be considered Haraam. Fish does not have to be slaughtered. A fish that has died a natural death is not permissible to eat.

Haraam foods: Unlawful
Haraam foods are those foods which are prohibited by Allah and the Prophet (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam).

All carnivorous (meat eating) animals and birds, e.g. lions, tigers, vultures, eagles, etc.

Any Halaal animal that has died due to natural causes, killed by some wild animal, by a fall, blow or slaughtered by a non-Muslim.

Flesh that has been sacrificed for some God or Goddess.

All forms of najasat (impurities).

Drugs/Intoxicants.

Donkeys, monkeys, elephants, etc.

Food containing Haraam items to be avoided at all times e.g. fish prepared with wine, etc. cakes, ice-cream containing rum or brandy or any Alcohol or liquor.

Contamination of a Halaal item with non-Halaal will render it non-Halaal/Haraam and unacceptable.

[baby_muslimah15]

Some gelatin is halal...But I dont wanna make this a long long debate so i'm going to stop....I'm just sayin what I was told

[Mu'maneen]

:sl:

First of all, something is Haram if there is evidence to support it.

Concerning the food slaughtered from non-Muslims, the food becomes Haram if they kill it in the name other than Allah, or if the animal dies other than the throat cut.

From information we receive from UK, slaughterers are not known to kill the animal in the name of something else. Though they (the animals) receive a shock, they die from the cut from the neck.

According to many respected Scholars, eating the meat from non-Muslim countries are Halal.

Please do not place burdens upon Muslims and say that this or that is Haram.

Remember that Allah does not burden His servants more than they can bear.

If anyone wants full Tafsir of the verse that mentions the meat that is Haram, I shall be glad to post it up.

Also concerning the correct opinions, it is advised to avoid chicken if you can, that are killed by non-Muslims, as some are known to die due to electric shock.

Dear Sister of Islam. Gelatine is not Haram as supported from majority of Great Scholars. :)

Just like vinegar is processed from wine, it is a different substance and hence it is Halal.

Gelatine is the same. Evidence shows that Gelatine is not meat or any part of the animal anymore. When the parts of the animal are boiled, the composition is changed and becomes an odourless colourless liquid.
Due to this and the support of Hadith, Gelatine is Halal. Even many Scholars have stated that Gelatine Pork is Halal, as it is not pork anymore.
Personally for me I eat sweets that contain Gelatine but avoid Gelatine Pork, even though the Scholars have stated it is Halal.

According to the information provided to us by a Muslim expert in the biggest company of food (General Food of Phillip Morris), any gelatin is Halal to eat. Because it is a new chemical formula, it becomes a different material from the ingredients, if they were from pork. Usually gelatin has originally many components of Halal animals, but pork is a possibility and usually it is not a high percentage. The conclusion is gelatin is Halal in this state.

:sl:

Of the foods which are to be found nowadays, some of them are clearly haraam, such as dead meat [from an animal which has died naturally as opposed to being slaughtered properly] and pork. Some foods may contain ingredients and derivatives which come from haraam sources, so we have to find out where they come from so that we may know what the ruling is concerning them. The gelatin which was mentioned in the question may originate from the skin, muscles and bones of haraam animals such as pigs. Hence gelatin which is derived from collagen which comes from pigs is haraam, because it is as if the pig had been turned into salt. The most correct view is that it is haraam even if it has been changed, so long as it originally came from a pig, which is haraam.

I know this is waaaay off topic, but you know, since your salaah and du'aa aren't accepted for 40 days if you eat something haraam, then will your fasting during ramadan be accepted either?

And if it isn't, what if a person ate it (the food) by accident, like realized it was haraam after eating it, Will his/her fasting be accepted then?

[Mu'maneen]

:sl:

That source is wrong when it comes to the correct Fatawa.

Gelatine is clearly not meat anymore.
If this is the case then vinegar is Haram as the same steps of biological and chemical change occurs in both cases.

These Scholars who claim that Gelatine is Haram have no proper evidence as the Ayats and Hadith quoted does not support the case with Gelatine.

There is no evidence what so ever to support that eating it is Haram.

Please answer this question:

How can it be Haram when it is not animal composition anymore?

They claim it is Haram, yet they do not want to accept the fact that it is not animal composition anymore.

Brother, I do not care which website states it. The Scholars and Imams I received such information from, and the information that I studied by myself, has come to the final conclusion that states, "We cannot call it Haram".

I admit, for a few years I used to avoid meats that were not labelled Halal, until one day I decided to study this topic in more detail. We still at home eat Halal food, but I am not going to lie and say I have not touched non-Halal labelled food. I avoid at best chicken due to the information I have obtained.

We still at home eat Halal food, but I am not going to lie and say I have not touched non-Halal labelled food. I avoid at best chicken due to the information I have obtained.

Like I said, if you want I can post full Tafsir of the Ayats that are mentioned Inshah'Allah.

:sl:

My dear brother, with all due respect, this is a serious matter. All my life I have heard Gelatin is haraam since its from pork. And Islamqa.com is a very reliable site. They answer many questions and seem to be on the true path of Islam.

I know you have talked to scholars and the like, but I just can't go on what you tell me alone :(

I also know the tafsirs are in arabic, but is there any other info or any other type of knowledge you can give to me in regard to this matter?

salam, i was wonderin if we could do anything with restaurants who say say are halal and also butchers which have certificates which are like issued since 97.... this is a serious matter... there is a solution- HMC. Halal muslm community started off in leicester but is working really slow in london and other towns... can we do omething abt it... we gotta help this hmc out in order for them to get to place but how.. i wonder if we culd use the forums.. i mean what is the gaurantee that we go nandos which says they are halal and they have pork sausages right in front of your eyesight, which eventually leads u to a doubt and so the food becomes unlawfull for ya if u have any doubt within it- a sahih hadith ive read sumwhere. wassalam
