What is Halal?

Halal is an Arabic term that is used in Islamic law to determine whether products or actions are permitted or not from the Qur’an. The word Halal in Arabic means “authorized” or “legal”.In simple words, Halal is a term that means that a given product, drink or action complies with all the norms of Islamic tradition. Therefore, we can say that Halal is something that is allowed by a Muslim and not beyond the religious paradigm. So, all that does not fall under the definition of “Halal” is most often – “Haram” (forbidden).

Halal Food

Even though the term “Halal” has a rather widespread use, in most cases, people are accustomed to associate it with the cuisine and dietary laws of Muslims. Those who are already familiar with the rules of Judaism’s kosher cuisine may notice some similarities. For example, Muslims, like Jews, do not eat pork and meat of predatory animals. However, not all kosher products are Halal. For example, products containing gelatin made from bone marrow, beef bones and which contain beef fat can be kosher, but not Halal. Moreover, Muslim dietary laws are stricter and they are always based on religion. By analogy with kosher, Halal products in stores are marked with special signs.
