What
is Halal? Halal
is an Arabic word referring to what is permissible under Islamic law. In most
cases, halal is used to refer to food that is deemed permissible to consume for
Muslims. To be deemed halal, the ingredients and method of production must be
thoroughly checked to ensure they adhere to Islamic dietary laws. Furthermore,
in the case of the slaughter of an animal for consumption purposes, the process
must also comply with halal regulations in that the animal must be slaughtered
with the correct intention and in the correct manner.
