Question: Is
it allowed for Muslims to use Kosher meat? Second query is about the fast
food service of McDonald Burgers and Burger King series of restaurants
who are American based restaurants but they are also selling their food
products in Pakistan and other Islamic countries. Do you know what type
of meat they are providing? I am in Germany, and we Muslims do not take
any meat item from such places.
Answer: Kosher
meat is Halal as it fulfils the requirements of Islam which are
basically two:
1. Allah’s name should be taken on
the slaughtered animal
2. It should be slaughtered through
the jugular vein so that all the blood is poured out.
Eating meat from fast food restaurants
should only be done in case it is known that these restaurants sell Halal
food, otherwise they should be avoided. In Pakistan, they serve Halal
meat. I am not certain for Germany. You can find out about the meat
used there yourself.
