Food and Drink

Q: My wife made rotis yesterday and placed them in a container. When they were cool she covered them. We had rotis for supper last night. After esha, when I was in the kitchen, I saw a mouse eating from a wrapped left-over sandwich. Later, I put the roti container in the fridge. After fijar, my wife took out the roti container from the fridge. She saw mice droppings or "stools" on the side of rotis in the container. 

1. What do we do with the rotis? 

2. What do we do if we have a mice problem?

Q: I would like to enquire whether we can trust MJC and NIHT. Reason being there seems to be a lot of doubt with these as compared to SANHA. It makes me wonder how all the meat supplied to Mc Donalds and KFC can be halaal as there is a lot of animals that would be slaughtered and to slaughter an animal in compliance with shariah takes more time and care so how do we know that these animals are being slaughtered accordingly?

Q: I would like to know if the product arome vanille from Vahine brand (french brand) is halal or not.

Q: Is it permissible to eat an easter egg if the intention behind eating it is not to celebrate easter, but just to eat the chocolate without even thinking of it as an easter egg?

Q: We live in America and there are some restaurants whose owners are Agha Khani's. They sell meet products and say that they sell only halal meat. We believe that they buy halal meat but is it permissible to eat from their restaurants? We are not sure if the food is cooked by a Muslim or Agha Khani or Hindu.

Q: I mistakenly took a gelatine capsule. I have made alot of taubah but am afraid that the effect of the haraam will fall onto me. It was completely unintended.

Q: I just found out that most sodas contain some alcohol. The company for Canada Dry said "the amounts are very slight, but still present." Now these sodas with the same brand are being sold in Muslim countries so I'm assuming 0.0071% alcohol (the amount in a Fanta orange soda) in a drink is permissible. But just to be sure, is it really halal or is that a matter of debate?

Q: I have been notified that some breads, pizzas, etc. has e920 in its ingredients. I have searched it up and it means it has human hair. What is the masala regarding this?

Q: I study in China and I have a lot of difficulties in eating food and deciding between Halal and Haraam. I want to ask you to please clarify me somethings.

1. Can we eat chicken or beef at International Brands like KFC, McDonalds etc.? 

2. Are the flavored crisps like Lays BBQ flavor halal or haraam? Please help me in this regard.

Q: Some one sends through WhatsApp messages saying chicken (in a Muslim country ) is not halal by forwarding some videos where we can actually see chicken getting processed by a machine. The authorities in the Muslim country are acknowledging that they are seeing it to that the things for the public are halal and not importing the haram chikcen and meat etc. One of my friends stopped eating chicken after seeing the WhatsApp.

My question is whom to believe? Do we have to believe the WhatsApp video or the authorities who are taking responsibility of halal produsts. If we believe WhatsApp then tomorrow other videos will declare meat as haram, please advise.
