Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 1677/1200/L=1432) According to Firozul Lughat dictionary, Beer means a kind of wine that is made of barley". [Firozul Lughat: P 254] If you mean this same beer then it is not lawful to drink. قال عليه السلام ما أسكر كثيره فقليله حرام (أو كما قال عليه السلام) وبه قال الإمام محمد رحمة الله وعليه فتوى كما هو المذكور فى كتب الفقه .

Q. Salam. I am a pakistani residing in Virginia, USA. The meat they call Halal over there means, that it is slaughtered the right way with cutting the jugular vein by the machine (and not cutting it all the way) however "Bismillah Allahu Akhbar" is not said by a specific person. They put it on the recording. This is the only type of Halal meat available over there. Please advice me if it's allowed to eat that halal meat and chicken since that is the only thing available there. Jazzak Allah! 2268 views

Q. I work in a islamic branch of a conventional bank in Pakistan. I used to work in a interest based bank before and have friends who are still working in interst based banks. 1). Therefore, sometimes if I go meet them either they offer me food or drinks from their income or bank's petty funds as it is customary in offices, please tell me if it is jahiz or not. OR 2). They invite me in thier marriages OR other functions, I have to eat or drink with them from the food or drinks which are purchased from their own income. please give me your fatwa if it is permitted or not. 3). Since I am working in a Islamic branch of a conventional interest based bank. The working and functionality of our branch is Shariah compliant and approved as such from State bank of pakistan. State bank of pakistan has a Shariah board menned by Shariah Scholars who give license for islamic banking to either full fledged islamic banks OR standalone branches for islamic banking of conventional banks and operations of these branches are separate from conventional banking branches. What I like to know that sometimes I have to attend functions / attend meetings where I have to drink tea or eat food sponsored by conventional interest based banking branches. Since these are official meetings, functions, or calls then it is very very difficult to say NO in such circumstances. Please give your fatwa on this if it is "jahiz or not" and if conditionally Jahiz then conditionalities attached to it. 3345 views
