What the Quran forbids
حُرِّمَتۡ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡمَيۡتَةُ وَٱلدَّمُ وَلَحۡمُ ٱلۡخِنزِيرِ وَمَآ أُهِلَّ لِغَيۡرِ ٱللَّهِ بِهِۦ وَٱلۡمُنۡخَنِقَةُ وَٱلۡمَوۡقُوذَةُ وَٱلۡمُتَرَدِّيَةُ وَٱلنَّطِيحَةُ وَمَآ أَكَلَ ٱلسَّبُعُ إِلَّا مَا ذَكَّيۡتُمۡ وَمَا ذُبِحَ عَلَى ٱلنُّصُبِ وَأَن تَسۡتَقۡسِمُواْ بِٱلۡأَزۡلَٰمِۚ ذَٰلِكُمۡ فِسۡقٌۗ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ يَئِسَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُواْ مِن دِينِكُمۡ فَلَا تَخۡشَوۡهُمۡ وَٱخۡشَوۡنِۚ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ أَكۡمَلۡتُ لَكُمۡ دِينَكُمۡ وَأَتۡمَمۡتُ عَلَيۡكُمۡ نِعۡمَتِي وَرَضِيتُ لَكُمُ ٱلۡإِسۡلَٰمَ دِينٗاۚ فَمَنِ ٱضۡطُرَّ فِي مَخۡمَصَةٍ غَيۡرَ مُتَجَانِفٖ لِّإِثۡمٖ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ غَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ禁止你们吃自死物、血液、猪肉,以及诵非安拉之名而宰杀的、勒死的、捶死的、跌死的、觝死的、野兽吃剩的动物,但宰后才死的,仍然可吃;禁止你们吃在神石上宰杀的;禁止你们求签,那是罪恶。今天,不归信的人,对于〔消灭〕你们的宗教已经绝望了,故你们不要畏惧他们,你们当畏惧我。今天,我已为你们成全你们的宗教,我已完成我所赐你们的恩典,我已选择伊斯兰做你们的宗教。凡为饥荒所迫,而无意犯罪的,〔虽吃禁物,毫无罪过,〕因为安拉确是至赦的,确是至慈的。
Intoxicants
God forbade wine and all intoxicants, for their harm to the mind and to society:
يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓاْ إِنَّمَا ٱلۡخَمۡرُ وَٱلۡمَيۡسِرُ وَٱلۡأَنصَابُ وَٱلۡأَزۡلَٰمُ رِجۡسٞ مِّنۡ عَمَلِ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنِ فَٱجۡتَنِبُوهُ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تُفۡلِحُونَ归信的人们啊!酒、赌博、偶像、求签,只是一种秽行,只是恶魔的行为,故你们当远离它,以便你们成功。
The clear and the doubtful
إِنَّ الْحَلَالَ بَيِّنٌ وَإِنَّ الْحَرَامَ بَيِّنٌ، وَبَيْنَهُمَا أُمُورٌ مُشْتَبِهَاتٌWhat is lawful is clear and what is unlawful is clear, and between them are doubtful matters.
In daily life
- Vegetables, fruit, fish and many foods are halal by nature.
- Read ingredients: gelatine, pork derivatives, alcohol and flavourings.
- At restaurants: ask, or choose certified halal meat; in genuine necessity, the Quran allows what prevents harm.
- Scholars agree on the principle and differ on details such as meat of the People of the Book and stunning before slaughter; consult a trusted scholar.
常见问题
Why is pork forbidden?
Because God forbids it explicitly in the Quran, and a Muslim complies with his Lord’s command even without knowing every wisdom. Some scholars note health reasons without treating them as the original ruling.
Is everything in the supermarket halal?
No; check ingredients or choose certified halal products.
