INTRODUCTION Halal is an Arabic word meaning something which is permissible, legal and good for the community. Halal when used in relation to food and drink, means permissible for consumption by Muslims Halal is a concept that shares universal values that promote peace, prosperity, tolerance and development in all aspects of the community Haram is the opposite of halal (illegal, prohibited)
PRINCIPLES OF HALAL The basic principle established by Islam is the principle of natural usability and permissibility of things. Nothing is forbidden except what is prohibited either by a verse of the Quran or an authentic and explicit Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (pbuh). Dr. Yusof Qaradawi outlined the concept of Halal into 11 points as follows:
PRINCIPLES OF HALAL AND HARAM IN ISLAM 1. All things created by Allah S.W.T are halal, with few exceptions that are specifically prohibited. 2. To make halal or haram is the right of Allah alone. 3. The basic reason for the prohibition of things are due to impurity and harmfulness. 4. What is halal (permitted) is sufficient and what is haram (prohibited) is superfluous. 5. Whatever is conducive to the haram (prohibited) is in itself is haram (prohibited).
PRINCIPLES OF HALAL (continue) 6. Falsely representing unlawful haram as lawful halal is prohibited. 7. Doubtful things should be avoided. 8. Good intentions do not make the unlawful (haram) acceptable. 9. Doubtful things should be avoided. 10.Unlawful (Haram) things are prohibited to everyone alike. 11.Necessity dictates exceptions
