MEAT AND POULTRY SLAUGHTERED BY AHLUL-KITAB
By Mufti Ebrahim Desai


Question

Why does the animal have to be slaughtered by a Muslim? Can’t we eat the meat of animals slaughtered by the people of the book (Jews and Christians)?


Answer

Allah Ta`ala says in the Noble Qurãn: 'Today I have made permissible for you pure things and the food of those who were given the Book (Ahlul-Kitab) is also Halal for you'. (Qurãn 5:4)

Overtly the above Aayat reads that the Zabeeha of the Ahlul-Kitab is permissible, but the fundamental principle must be understood in order to understand the Qur’an i.e. 'One part of the Qur’an explains the other'. Therefore, this verse should be understood in the light of another verse relating to the same matter: 'Do not eat unless Allah's name has been taken and this (not taking Allah's name) practice is transgression' (Quran 6:121).

The former verse explicitly states that the Zabeeha of the Ahlul-Kitab is permissible, while the latter prohibits eating meat upon which Allah’s name has not been taken. In the light of both these verses, it is understood that the Zabeeha of the Ahlul-kitab is permissible only if the name of Allah is taken at the time of slaughtering. The Ahlul-kitab used to take Allah's name when slaughtering an animal, therefore, their Zabeeha was also Halal for Muslims. It is for this same reason that an animal slaughtered by the Mushrikeen etc. is not permissible. The Ahlul-kitab of today are recognized more by name, less faith. There is no guarantee that they take the name of Allah/God when slaughtering an animal. Furthermore, they cannot be trusted anymore in matters pertaining to Halal/Haram.

Since there is uncertainty in the above slaughter manner, the Jurists are unanimous that it is not permissible to consume meat which is doubtful. Only if there is certainty that the Ahlul-kitab read the 'Tasmiyah' i.e. take the name of God when slaughtering an animal will their meat be permissible. We suggest that the Muslims in the U.S.A. and U.K. slaughter the animals themselves. A committee should be appointed and look into ways to facilitate for Halal meat slaughtered by Muslims. This will make them independent from Christian/Jewish sources.

Another proposition may be that the meat sold on the market is packed, sealed and stamped by a Muslim organisation consisting of reliable scholars and Úlama who have proper Islamic knowledge of the principles pertaining to
Halal/Haram of the Shariáh.

And Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

I would also like to add, that we are not in a situation where we cannot obtain halal chips/fries or even food for that matter, so it better to avoid the McDonalds ones Inshaa Allaah.

[NoName55]

which ingredient makes them haraam and why?? because many of my muslim friends eat at mcdonalds..they have a detailed list of ingredients and say everything they eat is permissible....

regadless of ingredient, nothing from mcdonald or similar is permissible due to the fact that meats from strangle/stunned/ electrocuted animals and pork meals are prepared in their kitchens by the same cooks

[NoName55]

I am a christian..but i know muslims are allowed to eat the meat of christians and jews..

only the food of Jews and non-pig eating, non animal strangling/electrocuting/shooting variety of Christian is permissible

McDonald's to offer Halal burgers
Friday, December 1, 2006 McDonald's wants to offer halal products at its UK outlets, the chain confirmed today.

The fast food giant is looking at how its supply chain and production processes could be changed.

Selling halal products to Muslims would boost the chain's sales in many parts of the UK.

A spokeswoman said McDonald's is taking a long-term look at possible ways of introducing the products.

McDonald's chief executive Steve Easterbrook said developing halal products would not be easy.

"It is a really complicated area. Different religious groups have different interpretations of what halal meat is," he said.

"We need to ask about animal welfare and preparing halal meat. We want to be entirely comfortable in genuinely offering it."

The chain said the development of halal products for UK outlets was a long-term project for which there is no current launch date.

I live in America, I am former mcdonald employee for atleast 2 months from many years ago. I have witness pork oil being cook on foods such as burger or any grilling foods.

here it is:

It has been officially announced that mcdonalds chips are haram, as they are fried in pigs lard before they are brought to mcdonalds where they are fried in vegetable oil. plz pass this messge to all the muslims you know. Go to the following for whats halaal: www.gmwa.org.uk/foodguide

i havnt checked out the website yet tho.

personally, i dont eat from any places that are not 100% halaal, so i never go to mcdonalds, even tho a few of my friends go there for chips n stuff.

McDonalds fries is halal...My cuzin worked there and he got all the info he needed....the best way to find out is to actually hear it from them

[wilberhum]

http://www.mcdonalds.com/app_control...nts.index.html

French Fries:
Potatoes, vegetable oil (partially hydrogenated soybean oil, natural beef flavor (wheat and milk derivatives)*, citric acid (preservative), dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain color), dimethylpolysiloxane (antifoaming agent)), salt. Prepared in vegetable oil ((may contain one of the following: Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, partially hydrogenated soybean oil, partially hydrogenated corn oil with TBHQ and citric acid added to preserve freshness), dimethylpolysiloxane added as an antifoaming agent). *CONTAINS: WHEAT AND MILK (Natural beef flavor contains hydrolyzed wheat and hydrolyzed milk as starting ingredients.)

Would some one tell me which of these ingredients are Haraam?

But I assume that is this just another Conspiracy Theory or just the standard “I Hate McDonald” Urban Legend.

They are in this business to make money, not to get customers to go some place else.

Actually don't eat in there at all, becasue you cannot be sure what they serve is Halal or not for Muslims, so take the advice and evidence to not eat in those types of fast food restaurants

Okay, now that is just weird... why would they put chicken fat in a milkshake??

If anyone thought I was being sarcastic, I'm sorry. The question was honest.

I think the problem is the name... its called natural beef flavour but then they say it contains milk and wheat (or something like that). Does that means that is ALL it contains and they call it beef for only God know what reason, or does it actually contain beef as well as the milk and wheat (which they might have to stipulate specifically in case of allergies or something)?

In other word- is it beef or what?

[chacha_jalebi]

^ lol about milkshake

i heard they put dead beetles in them thats how they get that refreshing pinkness :p

Sister, you are getting worked up because people think you may be given incorrect information?

This is poorly executed by yourself. Just because, I doubt the legality of what someone said, does not in ANY way mean I don't value religion high, or in anyway compromising.

Its not good to deceive people - even unintentionally. So if people are criticising, you should not be annoyed by it - The truth at the end is what counts.

Jazaak Allaah Khayr aamirsaab. That's what I am getting at, but people seem to prefer Doubtful/Haraam food over Halal

Is it fair, that you will make some people stop eating McDonalds even though they could? No its not, thats why investigation is prompt. These days, I hear everything is haram, so yes, I do actually look into things...

So, thank you for bringing it to our attention - but if we do criticise, don't get worked up.

Aslum ulay kum Brothers and sisters,

Do you think they (Mcdonalds) give a monkeys wheter the muslims are eating halal or haram. The western world is very anti Islam therfore it is not in their intrest to preach to the puplic about eating halal.
There is a chain of fast food outlets in the North of England which are owned and run by Muslims and recently they have launched the franchising arm of their business, it is identical in apperance and taste to Mcdonalds ,check it out 'Mahmoods.biz'. Inshallah they will be nationwide by 2013.

[m102313]

That's the problem with us muslim's today, we're too much into McDee's and these other fast food restaurants. That's why we see obesity increasing among us muslims. C'mon start eating HEALTHY FOOD!!!! Learn how to cook, so you won't have to go to these places to buy your meals!!!!!!!!!!!!

dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain colour), citric acid (preservative), dimethylpolysiloxane (antifoaming
agent) and cooked in vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with THBQ, citric
acid and dimethypolysiloxane).

Am I missing something?

Thanks sis!

Authentic mcdonald's Ingredients for fries


large Idaho russett potatoes
sugar
corn syrup
hot water
shortening
beef fat (or saved fat from previously cooked burgers)
salt

does No one understand that outside of Muslim countries Mcdonalds use the same cooks, kitchens and utensils for every item of food, including pork and other meats, on menu, regardless of whether they still are using the authentic recipe for their fries?

Do you not understand that it is not only Muslim countries that do not cook with animal fat??? In the west, as I said already, most fast food places DO NOT cook with Animal fat for a variety of reason, one being vegetarians frown upon it, Jews and Muslims frown upon it as do the health conscience. The fast food places that DO use it, are suppose to post it clearly and if not, then it is our responsibility to ask.

Also, neither MacDonald's or any other restaurant saves the fat from previously cooked food to make fries. C'mon, man, where you getting this from??? It would cost more in time and effort to gather, save, clean and purify and the shelf life would be too small a window. It would never pass the safety and health boards/inspectors.

We were not talking about utensils, we were talking about cooking oil. If you don't want to eat food that has been cross-contaminated, then you're absolutely right that one should not eat at restaurants that serve haram meat. But, that is a totally different subject than the title of this thread.

How does a person get around that?

I don't get that either unless it means that cross contamination is excusable

originally from http://www.mcdonalds.ca but its been updated/changed to read oil

MacDonald's or any other restaurant saves the fat from previously cooked food to make fries .... It would cost more in time and effort to gather, save, clean and purify

cleaning purifying will defeat the purpose of excercise since that beefy flavour gave the fries their distinctive taste to begin with

if someone thinks that is far fetched just ponder upon the idea of coke and what made it stand out in distant past
