Would you like some Mcdonalds ?

[babo]

why as it become so normal for some of our Muslim brothers and sisters to just go in a fast food restaurant and eat food that is not halal ? and worst of all feeding it to their children. Developing their test for what is clearly haram. Is it because we are forgetting to remember Allah swt during our daily lives or we just don't care anymore ??

 

[tango92]

around my ends its not like that at all. sure some muslims may have girlfreinds etc but when it comes to alcohol, haram food etc theres a definite line which is not usually crossed.

i dont like to eat at mcdonalds anyway, i dont like the atmosphere and i wonder where the money i spend goes (cough zionists). i guess the love of the dunya outweighs the fear of Allah for some.

Some Muslims deny it's not halal. In Finland, it was said that about 50 % of the chicken meat of McDonalds is halal. And to some people that makes all of the McDonald's meat - both the chicken meat and the beef meat - halal.

I told one person that I researched this on the net and read the newspaper which reported this and it was said only 50 % (or less) of the chicken meat is halal, as for the beef meet it is not halal at all. Guess if they listen "Wallah I don't know. This is what I heard, and this is what I know.:blind:". May Allah forgive the person who spread this.

Some others think only pork is haram.

In today's fast paced, expensive world in which both parents must work outside the home fast food restaurants have become a way of life. Perhaps the solution is for more Muslims to become involved in the food industry instead of fancy careers in medicine, law or engineering. The Jews have done it, you can find Kosher food, Restaurants, and fast Kosher Delis in nearly every corner of the world, in spite of the Jews being one of the smallest ethnic groups. If the Jews can do it with only 14 million Jews world wide, we certainly can do much more with nearly 2 Billion of us.

You know, I've always wanted to be a farmer of some kind. My parents always had a passion for the outdoors, growing their own food and what not. I never thought about making it into a career or a way of life though until recently. I'm not sure what area would be an ideal location but, I've always had a thing for the west side (us) because the weather always looks nice. I wonder how easy or hard it would be to get into this sort of field. (sorry for being so off topic)

This can be a new thread. I am going to move this over to a new thread in the General Section. Titled "How to be a Farmer"

I agree that there is too much emphasis on Muslims to go into science. However not many go into law...those who study a degree in law don't take further exams to become a solicitor/barrister and I don't blame them. X_X

Here in the USA the situation is much different. Where I live I know of only one halal farm in all of North Dakota (in Area ND is about the size of the entire UK) My friend Nahra who owns the farm raises about 6 goats a year to sell. Not much meat for the approximate 500 Muslims who live year round in ND, Here the Fast food chains are found in only 4 cities Bismarck, Fargo, Jamestown and Valley City I believe that makes a total of 8 Macdonalds in all of the State Bismarck and Fargo each have 3. However, in those cities they have become a necessity for the working population and the College Students. Nearly all of the Muslims in ND live in those 4 cities. I believe my wife and myself are the only 2 who live in a rural areas and we definitely are the only two on Standing rock Lakotah Reservation. although in the southern part of Standing rock which is the Cheyenne river Reservation there are 8. we have no fast food restaurants or any other type of restaurant. We have to eat what we prepare or not eat. Because of the lack of Halal meat we live essentially a vegetarian life except for fish. Although about once a year we do manage to buy a few pounds of goat meat from our friend.

I know some muslims believe that if you do go into any of these Mcdonalds or Kfs, reciting "Bismillah" makes the food permissable/halal such as chicken, which i dont think is correct either but Allaah knows best.

I never eat at these places, like bro Tango said i dont like the atmosphere :-\

So no Mcdonalds for me yay! :-\

Yes, that's a fairly popular opinion. I also know many people who use the reasoning that because the US is a primarily Christian country, the food we find in their stores is considered from the people of the book. Whatever the truth may be though, lets try not to pass judgement on those whose opinion on the matter differs from our own.

I've only recently started eating halal meat, not because I think one ruling on the matter is stronger than the others, but because I feel like the method of slaughtering used here is fairly cruel. Also, I think it's healthier if I stop eating at all the fast food places around here.

 

[Ğħαrєєвαħ]

No judgement was passed Alhamdulilaah, in Islaam there is no place for "opinions"

and i said Allaah knows best

Like the sis above has said, there is no place for personal opinions in islam, either you follow what Allah has commanded or you don't. There is no difference of opinion amongst scholars on the matter either, there is only one valid ruling - you can only eat meat that is slaughtered according islamic law. Either that or you can easily survive on vegetables and seafood.

Not because Allah says so in the Qur'an?
