Is This Place Halal?
Question - "Is McDonald's HALAL?"
"Some say supermarket meat, McDonald's, KFC and non-Muslim's meat is Haram. Others say these are all Halal, but is it OK to eat from these sources.
Also is there support for this answer from the Quran & sunnah?"
Thank you for your question regarding 'halal' and 'haram' of eating in fast food places in America.
We are only talk about restaurants and markets in America.
Other countries have their own methods, rules and laws regarding slaughtered.
If you have doubt, contact your local imam for help.
IMPORTANT - Basic principles in our daily lives:
1. Do not make things difficult for yourself. If the prophet allowed it, don't make it Haram (forbidden). Any time there was a choice in a matter, our prophet ﷺ, always took the easiest way. He didn't want our 'way' to be difficult.
2. What ever is in this world, is halal (permissable), except for what is Haram (forbidden) by Islam (Quran and Sunnah).
3. Whatever is worship, in any form, is all forbidden, except what is ordered and permitted by Quran and Sunnah.
4. Oppression of anyone (including ourselves) is not permitted by Islam.
So 'YES' and 'NO'
If the restaurant is located in a Muslim country where the Halal restrictions are in place, or it is owned by Muslims who say they follow the rules of
thabihah (halal slaughter), it is Halal.
"What if it's not located in a Muslim country, but owned by Muslim who follows the Quran and Sunnah?
Absolutely. Yes. If Muslims tell you they are offering you meat, you should not even question it. This is confirmed by the sunnah of the prophet ﷺ.
"What if there is evidence the meat is not from a proper source?
No good. Leave what makes you doubt for what does not make you doubt.
