What is Non-Halal?
2025-05-15
The basic principle of distinguishing between halal (permissible) and haram (forbidden) in food and non-food products is simple: except for specific prohibited items mentioned in the halal dietary laws, everything is halal.
The following animal food sources are found to be HARAM (forbidden) in Halal dietary laws:
Animals that have been strangled to death, animals that have fallen from heights, animals that have been bitten by predators, and animals that have been eaten.
Predators with claws and fangs, such as lions, tigers, and bears.
Pests such as rats, centipedes, scorpions, and other similar small animals.
Amphibians, such as frogs, crocodiles, and other similar animals.
Animals that cannot be slaughtered according to Halal dietary laws, such as ants, bees and woodpeckers.
Furthermore, even if an animal is not classified as halal, the manner in which it is slaughtered should be acceptable within certain standards.
Except for the following, all other food and beverage sources, such as fruits and vegetables, are considered halal:
Toxic and noxious plants, except those that have been processed to eliminate the toxin or hazard
Fruit that has spoiled during processing to the point of being unhealthy and intoxicating (such as wine)
Anything infused with alcohol
Other matters that are considered HARAM are as follows:
blood
feces and urine
Placental tissue
