Aslam

general Sign in to save

Is it permissible to eat meat dishes at non muslim restuarants where pork and/or alcohol is served. It is not known whether the meat was slaughtered Islamically or not. However the meat and the pork are stored in the same refrigerator and/or cooked using the same utensils.

Praise be to Allah.What

the Muslim should do if this is the case, is to avoid eating in these

restaurants. He should look for halaal meat in halaal places, even if

that is a little difficult for him, because of the importance in Islam

of ensuring that food comes from good sources.

And

Allaah knows best.
