What is Halal in Islam:
Halal in Islam means anything that is permitted by Islamic rules. They can be products or acts that are permitted by Islamic Law. Halal in Islam is the inverse of Haram in Islam. Allah said in the Quran about prohibited things that are haram in Islam:They ask you as to what is allowed to them. Say: the good things are allowed to you, and what you have taught the beasts and birds of prey, training them to hunt; you teach them of what Allah has taught you, so eat of that which they catch for you and mention the name of Allah over it, and be careful of Allah; surely Allah is swift in reckoning. Qur’an (5:4)
