Food

Code of Food

Islam provides clear guidance on what is permissible (Halal) and what is forbidden (Haram) regarding food. These rules ensure purity, cleanliness, and ethical consumption in a Muslim’s daily life.

• Any living creature (animal or bird) may only be consumed if it is permitted and ritually slaughtered in the name of Allah.
• Muslims must know the difference between Halal and Haram. Fish and eggs of all Halal birds are allowed.
• Birds that hunt or prey are forbidden in the Qur’an and also in the Bible (see Deuteronomy 14:8).
• Food must not be cooked in used or impure water, nor in fat from animals that were not slaughtered according to Islamic guidelines.
• Anything stolen or not rightfully purchased is forbidden for consumption.
• Eating at gatherings hosted by Muslims is allowed, provided that only Halal food is served.
• Food must be prepared with clean hands, clean utensils, and in a hygienic environment.
