Can we eat hindus food?

one of ma mate is an hindu she brings me food sometimes but one of ma muslim mate told me dat we can not it their food as it is haram to eat from someone who believes in stones. please could you tell me if this is true and also please proof it thankyou

Go ahead :k: ( if they are vegetarians ).

The problem will arise only if some meat is involved.

I dont have proof. try googly :roman:

yeah dats what i mean vegetrain food but as am fasting ma muslim mate saying its haram to eat their food

According to Fiqa-e-Jafaria, you can't.

Give your mate a hug and eat if you like to. If you don't think its ok then don't eat. Nobody is forcing you :)

For your information in india, there are millions of muslims living. They eat all the time from hindu shops and resturants. Although the hindus are mostly reluctant to do so with muslim shops. Because mostly hindus are vegitarians. And anything vegitarian is perfectly alright for muslims.
So eat all vada pao, choley, idli dosa etc. :)

so what exactly are you asking here? are you talking food prepared by Hindus or food which is particular to Hindu religion?latter does not of course make any sense. So I am assuming the former..
Assuming that you meant former - how different is a idli or curry prepared by a Hindu from one prepared by a Muslim?

This is from Islam-QA

Question :

Can Muslims eat in restaurants owned and directed by people who are not worshipping Allah? For example, Chinese restaurants. Keeping in mind that the type of food in these places is not HARAM in itself but the people making this food are KOFFAR.

Answer :

Al-hamdu lillah (praise be to Allah). There is no objection for a Muslim to eat from food that a kaafir (unbeliever), whether polytheist or otherwise, has cooked, as the issue of cooking does not involve slaughtering according to Islamic guidelines so that we would require the person to be from ahl il-kitaab (People of the Book) among the kuffar. In fact, it is only a matter of cooking, so the only issues that concern us are cleanliness and the avoidance of najasa (impurity), and likewise that nothing haram (forbidden) is mixed with the food such as khamr (wine or alcoholic beverages) or lard.

May Allah protect us from harm, evil and the things he has forbidden (al-muharramaat).

Who would want to eat 'what food eats' anyway?

I dont see why not.

What of when you eat out?

In the presence of two Christian clerics, the Sheikh of Al-Azhar-the highest authority in Sunni Islam-Mohammed Sayed Tantawi, said "we are required, as Muslims, to shake hands with whomever extends a hand to us in peace ... regardless of whether this person is a Muslim or not." "There is no coercion in religion," Tantawi said, citing the Quran, the Muslim holy book. "Forcing people into belief does not bring (new) honest Muslims, but rather hypocritical liars," he said.

the majority of the muslims, sunnis and non-sunnis, take tantawi as a joker and not a scholar…

whoever made him the highest auhtority in Islam??? :rolleyes:

so real sunni scholors want both kill each other

I personally dont like to eat meals prepared by hindus,
i've had samosas a few times, from this hindu shop, but ive stopped eating from there..
I heard some hindus sprinkle cow urine on food, thats part of their religous beliefs.
