Food & Drink -Permitted & Prohibited

Detailed Islamic Laws on Permitted Food
"O People, eat from the land what is permitted & good & do not follow in the footsteps of Shaitan, for he is an open enemy to you." (Al Baqarah, 2:168)
Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) said: “To refrain from eating a single morsel of Harām is, near Allah, more valued than the performance of two thousand Rak’ats of recommended prayer.”
(Iddat’ud-Dai)
Allah swt has given clear guidelines on what can and cannot be consumed. In addition we have also been instructed in manners and behavior of eating. Eating and drinking also becomes a way by which a Muslim remembers the bounties of Allah swt and by observing the rules of Shariah, he also shows his commitment to his religion.
