			<description><![CDATA[:sigh: Point for clarification: You state "And those beasts and birds of prey which you have trained as hounds, training and teaching them (to catch) in the manner as directed to you by Allah". This makes one think it's okay to eat the beasts and birds of prey.... It could be better worded such as: And as for the beasts.... Or And along with the prey of the beasts.... Do you see what I'm saying? Keep up the good work.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Well respectfully, you are WRONG. Pig products are prepared in the same kitchen, so the meat (from at best dubious sources) cannot be reasonably believed to be Halal. Why not edit this piece a little and come out a clear NO, because your ambiguity will lead to Muslims eating harem - I am sure of it. Allah s.w.t. knows best. Editor: Well respectfully - ?? Have you worked in the slaughter houses in USA? Did you work in the kitchens of any major restaurant chain? Are you aware of the USDA certification system and inspectors as well as government veterinarians on site, in these places of slaughter? Did you know they CANNOT slaughter pork in the same facility at the same time with other meats? And they must sterilize the premises before slaughtering each time? As far as cooking and preparing the meats in these kitchens, it is by law they have to comply and keep the pork from the other meats. If they don't do it - then it is a violation. All you have to do is ASK the cook, waitress or servers to make sure the meats are not cooked on the same grill or near the khanzir (pork). Please offer proof when you say someone if WRONG. Thank you for your contribution of time and effort though. We all need to speak up (just do it a little nicer next time please)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[McD Burgers in America CAN NOT be eaten by Muslims not because of the way the meat was slaughtered, but the way the meat is cooked! McDonald cooks the meat and the beacon on the griddle maybe not at the same time but the same cooking surface. so your meat is cooked with pork fat. It surprises me so much that Muslims in America pick on Zabiha when a Muslim sells it in their restaurants but it is ok to eat at McDonald or other venues where they cook pork and meat on the same cooking surfaces without cleaning it. Please check on how the Chinese, Mcdnald and other restaurants cook their food before eat there. believe me the way the meat is slaughtered is the least of your concern.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[It's very informative. JazakAllah...Bu t there's a fact about which I've got doubts...it's that we can't have meat which is slaughtered by a Christian...Act ually the thing is the meat provided by them is of 'shock' and of course it doesn't fulfil the rules of 'Thabihah'._One question I'll personally like to ask is that,here in Pakistan we get to hear about McDonalds being not Halal although they give 100% assurance of providing Halal meat and there is no sufficient evidence at all to claim McDonalds as Haraam..What should I be doing in this situation?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Assalaam alaikum,_Whethe r or not Mc Donalds is halal or not, it is still one of the worst food choices that one can make. Even if the meat was grass fed and drug and hormone free ( wouldnt that be the day!!) they way it has been cooked, with cheap oils, slathered with sauces containing chemicals and served with french fried potatoes that never go bad..do you really want to eat that! I wouldnt drive my kids there. I wouldnt even throw a Happy Meal leftovers to an animal. This is Frankenfood, not real food. Most people are obsessed with halal so much that they overlook the rest of the guidance in Islam-which is to eat the purest and best. The best food out there is in your own kitchen, so ..say bismillah and cook!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[just another comment on the MEAT quality itself at Mc Donalds from an[censored]ani c farmers perspective_aga in cows are only fed grain ,if the meat was grass fed from start to finish then there is a higher amount of CLA's (congigated linoic acid)which helps with heart disease and caNCER which is what i have.in the quaran it is mentioned many many many times that the cows should have herbage_ .the concept of soy and corn grain was implemented because the cows increase in size very quickly like 2 1 1/2 years quicker than if a cow only had grass as its diet.the meat is so unhealthy as soy is loaded with estrogens to make you really fat and add cancer also to your body. these factory farms also add plety of growth hormones and antibiotics .when the burger finally is ready the meat is so tainted.in surah 2;2o4-205 ...they will be causing mischief in the crops and the cattle]]></description>

In the quran it says to slaughter while mentioning allah's name_my question if i bring my cow to an amish farmer 9 he wont be saying jesus name over the animal) and i say bismelah from a distance and then the next day he slaughters from the neck is this meat still halal or do i have to be behind the knife saying the bismillah while the knife is cutting _also its just a tid bit i noticed that the word halal un jumbled spells allah_anyway id appreciate an answer to this]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[salamoalaykoum, what concerns me is not whether or not mc donalds is halal or haram but what benefit it gives to us Muslims. Even if mc d's was halal I wouldn't go there due to the money they give to israel. I am boycotting many companies known for supporting israel (coca cola, nestle, loreal...) and killing our brothers and sisters in palestine. It is the least we can do living in the west. why not go eat some kababs or curry instead. Plus, mc d's is really unhealthy full of chemicals ... And Allah knows best.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[EDITOR'S NOTE:__ You are right to say, "Be on safe side"__ But you cannot say "Today, as we all know..." Because we don't ALL KNOW__ In fact, we do know of Christians and Jews who say the word "Allah" and others who say "God"__ and we know Allah made His Deen for all times (Not just for 1,400 years ago). Besides, they DO NOT have to say anything at all__ it is Muslims who must say, "Bismillah" when slaughtering & when eating... With regard to meat, it should not only be halal, but it HAS to be ZABIHA. Pl see the verse i quoted above (6:118, 121).____Pl also see; Surah Al-Hajj:So take the name of Allah upon them(at the time of slaughter) while they stand in rows.(22:36)___ _Also, carrion or dead body meat(american grocery store meat) is not allowed,and so is the meat of that which is slaughtered for other than Allah(5:3)____T his is a very serious matter; if the meat is only halal but not zabiha, eating such meat (like the one from american grocery stores) is a transgression, and also shirk (6:121)____with regard to:The food of the ahlul kitaab is lawful for you as is your food for them(Al Maidah 5:5), Christians and Jews were also to slaughter the animal by taking the name of Allah. Pl see Al-Hajj(22:34). ____Today, as we all know, they do not do so and their methods do not fulfill the requirements of shar\\\'ee slaughter. Hence, it is not permissible to consume the meat of animals slaughtered by them. Conclusion: do not eat in McDonald or any such place,to be on the safe side. Why would you want to transgress and be one of the mushrikoon?, just for a sandwich? is it worth it? go figure!__syed.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I think your answer to question six is quite wrong (can you give evidence to just eat it even if you know if the animal has been slaughtered in a name other than Allah?) He has forbidden you only the Maytah (dead animals), and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that which is slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allah (or has been slaughtered for idols, on which Allah’s Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering)” [al-Baqarah 2:173] Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: What is meant here is that over which a name other than that of Allah is mentioned at the time of slaughter, such as saying “in the name of the Messiah” or “in the name of Muhammad” or “in the name of Jibreel” or “in the name of al-Laat” and so on. End quote from Tafseer Soorat al-Baqarah. (no outside links can be posted here) ____ __ Editor: (No one said you could eat meat that you know is haram) Slaughtered in the name of false gods is definitely wrong, and you are giving parts of the answer in your question. The Quran forbids Muslims from eating only certain things and then gives clear permission to eat from the meat of the people of the Book and they also can eat our meat. If you know the difference between 'Halal' and 'thabihah' then you can understand better. _____ 'thabiah' is the slaughtering done by Muslims ___ 'halal' is what Allah does not forbid. Read the verse in surah Mai'adah, chapter 5, verse 5: This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. (But, if you have access to 'thabihah' and you feel better and safer by eating it, go ahead - Just don't make something haram, that is not haram. That is very serious (read surah 66, At-Tahreem)]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Concerning McDonald's. I used to be a manager at a fast food establishment in the U.S. called Wendy's. I see many Muslim's going into their establishments and eating their food. Mostly they will eat Chicken products or sometimes a burger. Now, McDonald's like most fast food establishments serve bacon on some products, they usually recieve it as a "pre-cooked product", and their employees will put the bacon into a warmer to soften up.]]></description>
