Law changes in Denmark

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 18 Feb 2014 20:38:00 +0000

Danish law changes to religious slaughtering practices now require animals to be stunned before they are killed. According to Khalil Jaffar, an imam at the Islamic Cultural Centre in Copenhagen, the new law does not effect the Muslims. According to a report on Al Jazeera, " Danish Islamic leaders had issued a religious decree several years ago saying that animals stunned before slaughter were considered halal in Denmark".

Any good halal eating places in Denmark?

On Vegetarianism and halal

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Sun, 23 Oct 2011 00:20:00 +0000

Check out this great link on vegetarianism. Sheikh Hamza Yusuf Hanson says:

"Meat is not a necessity in Shari'ah, and in the old days most Muslims used to eat meat, if they were wealthy, like middle class—once a week on Friday. If they were poor—on the Eids. So traditionally Muslims were semi-vegetarians. The Prophet was, I mean, technically, the Prophet (SAWS) was in that category. He was not a meat-eater. Most of his meals did not have meat in them."

Vegetarianism is halal.
Meat is not compulsory.

It's not just about pork

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 22:52:00 +0000

A number of people just assume that Halal food is just about pork (or the lack thereof). However, it's much more than that.

1. Treating animals kindly
- Were the animals treated cruelly or tortured before they were killed. If they were, even if they were killed in the prescribed manner, it may still not be halal.

2. Alcohol:
The issue of alcohol served in the eating places is quite controversial. According to some scholars, the place is not halal if non-halal food or alcoholic drinks are served in that place as well.

A number of people forget that alcohol is haram as well, the same as pork. In fact we are allowed to eat pork if there is no other food around. However, there is no leeway for alcohol though some scholars are of the opinion it is allowed in minute quantities if present in medicines and used for medicinal purposes.

3. Cleanliness:
Some restaurants which we have visited were really filthy with dirty walls and floors, oily tables and smelly but have the halal sign proudly displayed. These places should not be allowed to display the sign until they have properly cleaned up and understand what a good halal food place should be.
