Food and Drink

Q: My question is, is smoking weed permiable in Islam? Does smoking weed break tahaarat? After smoking weed can we offer salaah the next day?

Q: I would like to know the halaal status of weevils found in rice, oats, seeds etc.

Q: Is it permissible to smoke electronic cigarettes?

Q: Many sweets that have the MJC halaal logo, list beef gelatine as an ingredient. I wanted to know if there is actually such a thing as halaal gelatine?

Q: My question is about consuming coke and pepsi as both of them are not certified by any certifying body like MJC, sanha as they also don't reveal their recipe of the drink which they claim a trade secret. They are right, they have to protect their business. But as Muslims where we remain cautious of consuming halaal food only, is it permissible to drink coke and pepsi?

Q: Is it permissible to use glassware that is chipped e.g. Plate, jug, etc and glassware that is ornamental but chipped?

Q: Is it permissible to give away doubtful eatables (doubtful because few ingredients are mashbooh) like chocolates, biscuits and similar items to a non-Muslim?

Q: I would like to please know the Islaamic perspective on 1) smoking, 2) gambling, 3) alcohol. It is research for a school assignment.

Q: We noticed slight chips on our teacup and saucer and dinner plate. Is it permissible to use these dishes? 

Q: I would like to know about meat or chicken for selling in non-muslim shops cooked or uncooked. Are Muslims allowed to buy that meat or chicken?  Can Muslims go to Mcdonalds in non-muslim countries? I heard that chicken can be halaal for Muslims living in western countries to eat in Mcdonalds and to buy in non muslim shops because chicken don't have a lot of blood compared to other animals. Is this true? How can I know which meat is halaal and which haraam while living in a western country? I am really confused about this matter and it makes it hard for me to chose the right food. Can you please explain this to me?
