What is Halal ?
The word ‘halal’ literally means permissible- and in translation, it is usually used as lawful. Halal food means food procured, processed, and traded in compliance with Islamic Law.
The antonym to halal is haram, which means unlawful or forbidden. Haram means any object made or action which has no permission in Islamic Law, and which is proscribed, prohibited and forbidden. All the harmful substances (defined medically) for human health are haram.
