Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani
THERE IS A GROWING sense of concern today among consumers, Muslim and non-Muslim alike, about the healthfulness of what they eat. Health food stores have gained a prominent status in the US, and many consumers review every last ingredient listed in a food item’s nutritional facts to ensure that they meet their dietary standards. Muslims must be even more conscientious of what they consume, as a Muslim’s diet must, above all, be lawful(Halal) under Islamic, as well as wholesome (tayyib). The Qur’an states, “O people, eat from whatever is upon the earth this is lawful and wholesome” (2:168).
