HALAL​
The word Halal translates from Arabic to English as “permissible". In Islam, all food is Halal or permissible, excluding a few foods. (Non-Halal Food)
Meat is a food with certain conditions that need to be followed in order for it to be Halal. These conditions are steps taken throughout the life of the animal, from the day it is born until the day it is slaughtered.
​
HALAL LIFE
Every day in an animal’s life should be happy until the very last day. The animal should be treated humanely, fed properly, allowed to live outside and have freedom of movement. The animal must be accorded its life. It must be treated as the animal it is and both its life and death must be respected.
Muslims believe that in order to have permission to take the life of the animals, there must be a need or purpose and permission needs to be taken from The Giver of that life.
