Re: Halal food in non Muslim Countries
Correction … Halal food in Pakistan is just as much as a concern in fact more so … it is because in Pakistan it is taken for granted … Please make sure that all animals are slaughtered in front of you in the correct manner.
HMC are UK’s halal quality monitoring service - voluntary but their methods of inspection are reliable so it is possible with a bit of travel and more expense to get true halal food here …
However, it is not necessary for a Muslim to eay meat … so there is no reason to obtain any dispensation … one can survive on vegetarian food. Only if there is a medical need to eat meat and one lives in an area where there is no halal meat to be found then fatawa are required.
Peace
Check here for meat shops, take aways/restaurants and products under HMC certification in the UK only.
