Subforum for Haram foods

[ammardiwan]

As-Salaam,

There have been many people who said that we should have a subforum or something similar for haram foods. I just wanted to collect it together.

As far as I know the following people want the forum:
ammardiwan
Muaz bin jabal (http://www.sunniforum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=180277&postcount=4)
sunnilink (http://www.sunniforum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=180280&postcount=5)
UaHuSsain (http://www.sunniforum.com/forum/showpost.php?p=180633&postcount=23)
Diplomacy
ahsanirfan

If anyone else wants the forum please post. I mean if many people want it then it'll be worth it. The mods won't find it necessary if no one wants one!

[Muaz bin jabal]

WE WANT ONE AND WE WANT ONE NOW!!!!

Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Wabarakatu

I think it is imperative to have some sort of approved and reliable source of information regarding haraam products-one on suniforum might be extremely successful, especially since so many people use is, actively silently.

May i suggest that it be sub categorised into UK and American products, as previous experience has shown me that 2 products may not necessarily have the exact same ingredients,i.e while one product may be haraam in one place it may not necessarily be so in the other-my personal experience has been so between South Africa and UK.

[naznin]

Count me in. Also a sub-section for Canada would be good. :D

Yes we want one!!

[Hamood]

It is under consideration by the Shura.

(actually I won't - but you should still open it)

Br. Ammar,

You will need to garner at least 100 Yes votes for us to give it futher consideration. :) And for every No vote, you have to get an extra 5 Yes votes......

That's an evil ratio...even if 5 people vote "no" they'll win :(

Prawn is considered fish according to the Relied-upon position in the Hanafi school. Consequently, that is what I follow and find to be proper.

wow, look at how big this prawn is:

and by the way, i voted for Not Sure, because i wouldn't check it, although it might be useful.

Akhee if we don't get one, it's all your fault. :cheesygri

[biscuitcrumbs]

I voted yes. At least we can try to stay away from those things that are haram. The first step is awareness.

Somebody asked, why Muslims allow to eat shark, if the shark swallows people?

It would normally be prohibited. However, God gave all of Humanity a 'dispensation' to freely eat all fish and a shark is considered a fish.

[umm_madina]

Assalamualikum,

I also agree with this.

“O you Messengers! Eat of the good things, and do right...” (Qur'an 23:51). Allah also said: “O you who believe! Eat of the good things wherewith We have provided you...” (Qur'an 2:172).

wa'salam


Yes, Yes, Yes > That is 3 votes :cheesygri

Who prohibited it?

[abuhajira]

It is under consideration by the Shura.

Dear Respected Brother,

Jazak Allah Khair

We are not allowed to disclose any details about discussions which take place in the Shura. I didn't say it was rejected, I just said its not happening anytime soon.

[biscuitcrumbs]

Soon, like next month ;)

*joking*

Thanks.

Why not? What's the explanation for that?

[Hamood]

Why not? What's the explanation for that?

Well that's a restriction placed on us by our constitution and Ameer sahib. I forgot the exact rationale behind it but rest assured it was based on sound reasoning.
