Do u eat NON-Halal meat?

[RupayHalwa]

OK, maybe its not that simple. I’m wondering about people who live in non-Muslim countries where halal meat is not readily available in all stores.

So in this situation some people say u can eat:

Kosher
or Doesn’t have to b halal or kosher, just not pig meat.
or Nothing other than strictly halal, slaughtered in the Islamic way.

I asked this question bcos i met a new friend recently who told me that when she lived in America she used to eat meat products at fast-food joints and restaurants, bcos she thought it was ok to do so bcos of the lack of halal restaurants. It was common practice amongst Muslims. Now she says she regrets that bcos she doesn’t think it is correct and sticks to strictly halal.

From my perspective (based on my UK life experience!), i would say i know only 3 Muslims who do consume non-halal food from supermarkets / restaurants, but all other Muslims I know would not. This may b bcos it there theres always a halal place within reach of them, or bcos of the society, but probably more personal belief.

Personally i wouldn’t want to eat anything that i don’t think has been slaughtered in the islamic halal manner, but i do wonder that if i was brought up in another culture / community (but same religion), would i still hold with this view?

I see arabs come here and dine at KFC, in my innocent days i was horrified that these newly visiting muslims don’t know that the food is haram here, not like their own countries where its all halal. So one day i told one of them, he was like, oh, we know, but we r allowed to eat it bcos if u can’t get a halal KFC here, u can eat at a non-halal one.

Erm, this isn’t really meant to b in the religion section bcos its more about food.

Re: Do u eat NON-Halal meat?

No.
I am paranoid about washing meat properly before cooking and about the smell and all. So unless I am cooking it or someone at home is, I usually avoid it.

LOL. Our uni had the MOST DELICIOIUS chicken burgers in the world, with a great big HALAL sign written before them. We were seriously addicted to them. In our final year we found out they were really haram. So then i couldn’t eat them :(.

Vegetarianish?

Re: Do u eat NON-Halal meat?

^Not entirely, even though I prefer vegetarian meal any day over meat. Just not too crazy about the latter. I can have it in haleem, biryani, nihari type of dishes but other than that, I can go without eating chicken/beef for days happily. And I absolutely detest goat meat.

Re: Do u eat NON-Halal meat?

^ How could you not like goat meat

I so dnt like veg and daals, whenever my mum cook them I feel like crying

Re: Do u eat NON-Halal meat?

^whaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!??? i can even take one bite of kabab and tell whether it's goat meat or not.. i cannot stand the taste of it.

Re: Do u eat NON-Halal meat?

I guess the correct term would be non-zabiya meat. I dont mean to get into a religious debate but if you live in a place where its very hard to find zabiyah meat, and the mosque has issued a fatwa where you are allowed to eat it before offering a small dua, I see no reason why you should deprive your body of this blessing from Allah. At home, I always use Zabiyah, though I rarely cook. Zabiyah/blessed meat is properly drained and tastes alot better.

yep that's right....sad thing is that most muslim halal meat shops are selling non-islamic zabiya when they're allowed to use islamic method.
We recently found out that British stores [like ASDA ] are selling proper halal meat with hmc stamps, we're thinking of buying from them next time.

Geo ran a documentary, and I was shocked to see how zabiya meat was prepared here. I mean it was done in the same slaughter houses, with just a tape running.

Honestly, I miss how they do it in Pakistan, all by hand, but I guess with the supply and demand along with retailing that's impossible here.

Re: Do u eat NON-Halal meat?

I eat Halal meat only. What I don't understand is if you live in a place like UK/USA what is the dire need that you MUST eat meat, even if it is haram by reading a dua on it. If halal meat is unavailable, as far as I know usually most places have enough veggie or seafood selections to choose from.

I opt for the veggie / seafood option when eating out and no halal available, but i think there would b a problem if there was NO halal meat available anywhere in the area, meaning that i wouldn't b able to cook it at home either. Cos that way i would have to a a vegetarian 100% of the time - or move!
