Re: Imitation Crab
I never knew about lobsters ,crabs etc being haraam till I came to the US , when i found out that these were in fact considered makrooh and thus avoided eating them. I haven't read it up though I should but i'm not that religiously well versed i'm afraid to say !
**Like BR said i used to stick to ordering fries until a waiter once at a diner asked me if i was muslim (he was turkish ) and then recommended I don't order the fries as most of these places use the same oil to fry bacon etc. **
**I think it just extends to what your belief system is and how far it extends , some ppl still eat chicken at all places saying its ok if U just say Bismillah , others say thats not enough . **
For me if there is a doubt about anything better avoid than indulge !
