Eating Pizza In Non Halal Parlours Is It Not Haram

Oh wow, i didnt take note of that. good eye lol. well id be in doubt of eating and definitely avoid it. Can't u tell them this? I dont see why u cant lol.

I personally would eat at pizza hut or mcdonald or other places were it not for the fact that if muslims saw me they would think bad of me.

That's the only reason that stops me.

well well well

thats like me saying eatin halal food on the street is haraam, because there non halal shops round

it makes the contamination possible, but it dont mean the contamination happens

i think we gotaa analyse thins more, instead of listenin to sum imams who got nuttin betta to do, so dey label nearly everythin haraam

but maybe eatin pizza like that is haraam, Allah (swt) knows best

bro dont give a crap wot people think of you

i remem this butifull sayin of Hadhrat Umar (ra)

he said "even if a man is as straight as a arrow, people will still find faults in him" its human nature to find faults in each other, insted of lookin at there own faults

so dont care wot people think, only care what Allah (swt) thinks of you

now after hearin that you can take me maccy d

Imam Bukhari had something like 1000 pounds, and told this man about it, now they were both on a boat on a journey, the next morning the man starts screaming and shouting and saying someone took his money, a 1000 pounds, so everyone will look for it, Imam Bukhari throws his money away, over seas, and later the man asks Imam Bukhari what did you do with the money and Imam Bukhari said he threw it away and the man could not understand how Imam Bukhari was able to just throw it away, how he was so calm. And Imam Bukhari said that he didnt want his reputation and all his works and books to be ruiend because of this.

NOTE THE ABOVE IS A VERY ROUGH NARRATION, IF YOU WANT IT I WILL TYPE IT UP FROM A BOOK WHEN I FIND IT

So you see, I rather preserve my reputation in the community and I rather help my brothers and not give them a reason to think bad about me!

As for the Hadeeth quoted,
"even if a man is as straight as a arrow, people will still find faults in him"

I agree, and people will always find faults, but its not a reason for me to leave an open door for them to find some.



Now lets not diviate from the thread insha'Allah

If there is an option for me to eat at a place where there will be no chance of any muslim genuinly disliking my action, i.e. thinking that I'm commiting sin by going there, and a place where there is a chance that some brothers will think I am commiting sin by eating from that place.

Then I will leave the place which would arouse doubt in my brother's mind with regards to me sinning and eat in a place of which noone has doubt.

Hope that answers.

Yes, I chose to eat at places where other muslims would not think am sinning.

You are my sister,

I haven't thought you have been rude nor have I been offended so please do not apologise.

But I will say, I only think about what other people think of me, because I see that to be a quality of people before me, how would you act towards a sister whom you thought did haram all the time? Different, totally different than if you thought she did halal all the time. Any sensible person would not take their religion from someone who they feel any doubt about. I don't want to cause doubt in any of my brothers or sisters about me and my deen, so I hope that they all think good of me, insha'Allah.

Assalamu aleykum Brother,

I hope all is well, and I hope you don't mind me asking you a couple of questions based on the statement below, even though it was not directed at me.

If you out of your own piety feel that it is best to be avoided then Alhamdulilah.

But should it happend to us WOULD that make it halal for us? WOULD you still eat there, this is straight from a person who had experienced the problem and not some imam telling congregsation to avoid such outlets.

There mere fact that the outlet apologised is a sign that it was a mistake which will be avoided in the future.

If I had the experience of seeing a worker not wash his hands, I would ask someone if that is their polocy, if it is not and they rebuke the person, which they should since they claim in their menu that the piza is vegetarian, then I do not see any harm in going there again, since their polocy is to change their gloves and so on, if they say it is not then I would not go there again.
