What is Halal?
Halal is an Arabic term that means “permissible” or “lawful” in Islam. In the context of food and drink, halal refers to items that are prepared and consumed according to Islamic dietary laws. These laws outline specific guidelines for what Muslims can and cannot eat. Halal food is an integral part of Islamic dietary laws, and consuming halal food is seen as fulfilling religious obligations for Muslims.
