Re: ...Ordering Food...
Shikra i understand what you r trying to say ...
if i was in the situation u have mentioned , i'd rather not ask those ppl to wash and wear gloves , and rest of ppl wait for food.
bcz islam teaches us to care about others too :)
I'd just avoid that resturant n go to some other place where all is halal. Infact I have been through that situation.
The chef was preparing omelette with different alternatives (mushroom , cheese, bacon strips)
although i could have asked him to prepare a mushroom omelette for me i chose not to eat the omelette cooked in the same pan n ate butter with bread instead,so it is not so difficult to avoid anything and find alternatives for it ..
