Peace sarad,

In the book of the poeple of book, the pork is 'haraam'. Do you think your neighbor eat pork?

I never asked but I suppose so.

@Sara516

Even some Muslims are unaware or unsure of washing a dish 3 or 7 times, so it's less likely that that non-Muslim neighbor would know to wash a dish 3/7 times......

If someone gives you something that is halal or vegetarian, what would be a bigger sin? to waste food and throw it away and possibly offend the person? or to eat it, knowing that the ingredients are halal/permissible to eat?

As TLK said, the dishwasher would wash 3 times so I think the pan would have been washed 3 times.
and that is exactly what I am wondering. They know we are muslims so if they give us dessert, vegetarian or something halal (non-zabiha though), can we eat it since they are christians and I assume they would have washed their dishes.
I do not want to say to them, "Please dont give me any food because ......" Would that not create a bad impression of muslims with them.
I also do not like to throw away food.
I ll make a new thread I think.

Re: Halal food and dishes

sarad, none can know how they prepared food and the utensil they used for it was used for any 'haram food' or not. Better it this take/accept the food and than pass it to other.
