Halal is an Arabic word meaning lawful or
permissible according to Islamic law.
It’s probably easier to definite halal foods
by what is not halal, or haram i.e. forbidden.
Pork, animals not slaughtered in the
prescribed Islamic method, intoxicants, carnivorous animals, birds of prey,
carrion, blood and foods contaminated with any of the aforementioned products
are forbidden.
To be halal, the animal for slaughter must
be healthy. The Islamic method of slaughtering dictates humane slaughtering of
animals in the name of Allah, by severing the carotid artery, jugular vein and
trachea by a sharp blade. The blood must be allowed to drain out of the
carcass. These are the basic
principles; further rules apply.
Mr and I started this blog to share our
food experiences with those seeking the enjoyment of halal food, particularly
in Perth.
Let the stories begin!
Bismillah.
