"Halal" is an Arabic term meaning "permissible" or "lawful" in Islam. It refers to what is allowed according to Islamic law, particularly concerning food and drink. For example, halal meat must come from animals that are slaughtered in a specific way, ensuring they are treated humanely and that the name of Allah is invoked during the process. In addition to food, the concept of halal extends to other aspects of life, including finance, cosmetics, and personal conduct. Products labeled as halal must comply with Islamic guidelines, making them suitable for Muslims to use or consume without violating their beliefs.
