Answer ID: 5804Posted on: Sep 1, 2020

Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 376/376=M/1429)

Ostrich is halal, one can eat its meat.

There is difference of opinion about lobster (jheenga); some scholars call it fish while some not; therefore it is better to avoid eating it.

Allah (Subhana Wa Ta'ala) knows Best

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! 2270 views
Q. Assalamualikum, I have noticed many of our Muslim brothers engage in habits such as smoking cigarrettes, and consuming other tobacco products (chewing tobacco, ghutka, etc.). I would like to know are these habits halaal in Islam? Because in reality you are poisoning your body just like you would by drinking alcohol. Also, many cigarettes contain alcohol so is it ok to tell brothers to not smoke for this reason? (2) Finally, what is the ruling on opiates in Islam? Jazakallah Khair 2490 views
