Re: vegetarianism by Muslims - No health related reasons??
I don’t understand what’s the big deal here? To each his own. If someone wants to abstain from consuming meat until some goal of theirs has been met…fine. So be it. As long as they’re not saying that such behavior is supported by Islam. If they want to become vegan because they think meat is gross/don’t like the taste of it, are against animal cruelty, for health reasons, or think it’s fashionable…so be it. As long as one is not going around making false claims that it’s haram to eat meat or haram to be a vegetarian. I’m not the one buying their sabzi or cooking it…so I don’t care. If it’s a close family member and that’s the choice they’ve made (without making false claims in connection to religion)…all that mattes to me is that they’re healthy and are finding some way to get their nutrients. That’s it.
everything is to each their own…whats being discussed is whether the ‘each their own’ thing is islamically ok or not…given that verse that i referred to…
