Q: I reside in Kashmir. Here our neighbours usually send raw meat or rice preparations to each other. Some people among them are those who go to dargahs etc. Is it necessary to enquire from them about in whose name they have prepared these rice preparations or sacrificed the animals before eating it or accepting it. Also it may not be possible every time to ask them in whose name they have sacrificed the animal etc.

Q: What are Islam's views on being a vegan? I understand it is mentioned in the Quran that cattles' milk and meat are also meant to be consumed by mankind, but now with the meat and dairy industry being shady about their actual processes behind the product-making, and maybe we can't always trust that the "halaal" products are even really halaal, where are we supposed to stand? If we choose to take the safest option by eliminating the meat and dairy option completely to show our protest against the slaughterhouses, does that mean we're against our nature as humans?

Q: Can a Muslim use alcohol/wine bottles to store water for consumption after thoroughly cleaning and washing the same.
