Have you heard of the word Halal<\/em> before?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As muslims, eating Halal food is an essential part of our spiritual health. That’s why its important to understand what we can and cannot eat as Muslims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s dig into it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, what\u2019s \u201cHalal\u201d mean?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Halal is an Arabic word that simply means \u2018permissible\u2019. This is in contrast to Haram, meaning – impermissible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The terms Halal and Haram are used for a whole manner of things outside of food. Common examples might include: \u201cIs it Halal to work at a bank?\u201d, \u201cIs it Halal to get a tattoo?\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When applied to food, it simply means – is it permissible to eat this?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the Shariah there are certain types of food and drink which we can’t consume. The most commonly known are pork and alcohol. But even beef and chicken can be impermissible. And something as innocent as a packet of chips can also be impermissible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of us know that pork is impermissible. But even beef and chicken can be impermissible. And something as innocent as a packet of chips can also be impermissible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
