Do you eat only Zabiha at home?

Idk about you…but most of us wash our dishes?

I’m a little confused, can someone clarify please? Can they not eat meat period, or they can’t eat halal meat only?

This hasn’t ever come up for me, but for a non-Muslim person, I would just serve them halal as well…it wouldn’t affect them as much as a Muslim eating non-halal, I think?

The Sikh faith does not allow it’s followers to eat any meat that has been ritualistically slaughtered in the name of God, that includes Muslim zabihah or Jewish kosher. They view it as being exclusionatory. That is why the langar in their gurdwaras is always vegetarian, so as not to exclude any person of any faith. Sikhs themselves are not vegetarian, although there are some factions in the faith that believe they should be.

Of course, I have other Sikh friends that don’t care and will eat halal meat, just like I have plenty of Muslim friends and family they don’t differentiate between Zabiha and non Zabiha. I don’t mind anyone’s stance. My only aim is to make any guest feel comfortable in my home, as I would expect in theirs.
