This excellent article was really helpful to me. My esteemed brother-in-law is a Shiite Muslim, and I don't wish to accidentally offend him. Meat in his house is halal. I don't know if he personally accepts kosher meat as within halal, or if he is more strict than that. I do know that he shops for meat at Muslim establishments which follow halal slaughtering practices.
I'd like to see the Islamic point of view on tobacco, marihuana, coffee (a susbtitute of alcohol according to its article), tea and insects. Are they all halal? I also miss a reference to Ramadan and the Lamb feast day or other sacrifices. -- Error 01:46, 19 Jan 2004 (UTC)
- Indeed. I also believe there's a catagory of "so-so" things between halal and haram, which the article doesn't cover. I'd also like to see more details of butchery practices (someone told me that the blood mustn't drain over the animal's body, so it is laid on its side before its throat is cut). I'd also like to know if there are parallels to various kosher practices with regard to preparation (e.g. rules against mixing meat and dairy, even sharing utensils or fridges between the two). I think kosher also specifies that a baker's oven has to be lit by someone in particular (I think by a jew) for the bread to be kosher - do muslim dietary laws (or practices) have something like this?
As far as I know, there is no direct reference in Quran banning tobacco, marijuana or coffe, but in Shiite Islam the many--most of the--rules are set by referring to a Mujtahid. So, there might not be a fixed opinion. The consensus, as far as I know, is that tobacco is not haram, marijuana is haram, and coffee is not haram.
The category of so-so things includes "mobah" that is better to be done, and "makruh" that is better not to be done. The kosher rules in general are stricter than those of Islamic dietery rules.
I should add that I do not have detailed or specific information. Perhaps you should refer to a muslim teachings web site. Bhs 12:22 pm 4 May 2004 (PDT).
I noticed that there is another entry on this subject under Halaal, and alternate spelling which also mentions the spelling used for this page. It would be good if someone would combine the two into one article using the most-correct spelling. I live in a very Muslim area of Toronto and I've seen the single-a spelling a lot, but never the double-a. It would also do well for the resulting article to be reverse-linked to Kashrut and Category:Diets. TimothyPilgrim 18:11, Jul 16, 2004 (UTC)
For Muslims it is meaningless to speculate about the reason for the dietary laws because Allah knows best.
[edit] can somebody tell about cock
can somebody pleaaaaase tell me about cock or hen as haraam according to strict quran laws. i know it is commonly eaten, but as i read the quran and other books, i find enough evidence to support that cock is haraam since it has talons and it eats small organisms. please reply on my talk page.
and if u can, confirm that from someone who has read quran himself too. nids 11:40, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Is chicken allowed?
The article states that Muslims are not allowed to eat omnivores. However, I belive (please correct me if I am wrong) that some Muslims do eat Chicken. Chicken are listed as omnivore in the article Omnivore, however. So what is right and what is wrong here? Torben.green 16:02, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Article needed? Opinions on deletion
I want to know other people's opinion regarding the deletion of this article. What can be found in this article that can't be found in Halal or Dhabiha. The latter articles are much more complete and, well, "better" than this one. What do you say?Starwarp2k2 03:18, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
