Halal Food & drink

Is the food of the People of the Book halal?

Short answer

Yes, as the Quran says: the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you (5:5). This applies to permitted foods. Pork and alcohol stay haram, and scholars discuss the conditions for meat, so check where it comes from.

Evidence

Quran

ٱلْيَوْمَ أُحِلَّ لَكُمُ ٱلطَّيِّبَٰتُ ۖ وَطَعَامُ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ حِلٌّۭ لَّكُمْ وَطَعَامُكُمْ حِلٌّۭ لَّهُمْ ۖ وَٱلْمُحْصَنَٰتُ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنَٰتِ وَٱلْمُحْصَنَٰتُ مِنَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ مِن قَبْلِكُمْ إِذَآ ءَاتَيْتُمُوهُنَّ أُجُورَهُنَّ مُحْصِنِينَ غَيْرَ مُسَٰفِحِينَ وَلَا مُتَّخِذِىٓ أَخْدَانٍۢ ۗ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِٱلْإِيمَٰنِ فَقَدْ حَبِطَ عَمَلُهُۥ وَهُوَ فِى ٱلْءَاخِرَةِ مِنَ ٱلْخَٰسِرِينَ ﴿٥﴾

Leo mmehalalishiwa kila vilivyo vizuri. Na chakula cha walio pewa Kitabu ni halali kwenu, na chakula chenu ni halali kwao. Na pia wanawake wema miongoni mwa Waumini, na wanawake wema miongoni mwa walio pewa Kitabu kabla yenu, mtakapo wapa mahari yao, mkafunga nao ndoa, bila ya kufanya uhasharati wala kuwaweka kinyumba. Na anaye kataa kuamini bila shaka a'mali yake imepotea, naye katika Akhera atakuwa miongoni mwa wenye khasara.

This is general information, not a fatwa. For your own situation, ask a qualified scholar.
