THE CONCEPT
OF HALAAL IN ISLAM
Islamic Law has given very clear
guidance as far as Lawful (Halaal) and Unlawful (Haraam) is
concerned.
Halaal is a term used to define those
articles, foods, items, commodities, products, animals,
consumables, etc. that are permissible and lawful for a
Muslim.
Halaal has been defined in Islamic Law
in terms of the Book of God, 'Al-Quran' as explained by his
Prophet (Peace be upon Him).
The Quran lays down values and norms
for all moral actions including eating and drinking. Almighty
God declares in His Holy Sacred Book, 'O you people! Eat of
what is on earth, lawful and good, and do not follow the
foot-steps of the devil (the evil one), for he is to you an
avowed enemy'.
God Almighty further states, 'O you who
believe! Eat of the good things that we have provided for you,
and be grateful towards God, if it is Him you worship'.
