Halal znači dozvoljeno, a haram zabranjeno. U islamu je sve dozvoljeno osim ako postoji tekst koji to zabranjuje. Zabranjene stvari uključuju svinjetinu, krv, alkohol, kamatu, krađu, laganje, bludničenje i sve što je štetno.
Potpuniji odgovor
Halal hrana je zdrava hrana koja je slobodna od zabranjenog i, kod mesa, od životinje zaklane uz Božije ime i s milošću, brzim rezom. Haram obuhvata više od hrane: zarađivanje novca varanjem ili od kamate, kockanje i povređivanje drugih su haram. Između toga, neke stvari su pokuđene ili sumnjive.
Kur'an kaže da je Bog učinio dozvoljenim dobre stvari. Načelo je da su zabranjene stvari rijetke i jasne i da su zabranjene jer štete tijelu, umu, imovini ili društvu. Potpuniji popis s dokazima nalazi se u odjeljku Halal i haram na ovoj web-stranici.
Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah, and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring of horns, and those from which a wild animal has eaten, except what you [are able to] slaughter [before its death], and those which are sacrificed on stone altars, and [prohibited is] that you seek decision through divining arrows. That is grave disobedience. This day those who disbelieve have despaired of [defeating] your religion; so fear them not, but fear Me. This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion. But whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
He has only forbidden to you dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah. But whoever is forced [by necessity], neither desiring [it] nor transgressing [its limit], there is no sin upon him. Indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful.
O you who have believed, indeed, intoxicants, gambling, [sacrificing on] stone alters [to other than Allah], and divining arrows are but defilement from the work of Satan, so avoid it that you may be successful.
