The terms halaal and haraam are applied to many facets of life; and one of the most common uses of these terms is in reference to meat products, food contact materials, and pharmaceuticals. In Islam there are many things that are clearly halal or haraam. There are also items which are not as clear, and for which further information is needed. Items that are not clear are called mashbooh, which means “questionable”. ‘Halal’ means permissible. ‘Haraam’ means forbidden.
In Islam, other forbidden items include pork and all its products; animals improperly slaughtered; alcoholic drinks, including all forms of intoxicants; carnivorous animals; birds of prey; and any food contaminated with any of these products.
The following list provided is merely a guide as to where you can find halaal restaurants which have been endorsed by a halaal authority or are Mulsim Owned. It is up to the reader to verify the halaal status of the restaurant.
