Question:
Assalamu Alaikum Warahmathullahi Wabarakathuhu,
Dear Shaykh,
I live in Dubai, UAE. The meat available in almost all the supermarkets over here are imported from various countries and mainly from Brazil. Other countries are New Zealand, France, India and Pakistan.
Some of the packs contains Halal mark and some don’t. Even if they have just a Halal mark are we to consider it Halal?
What is the ruling about this? Please explain.
Answer:
A`udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajeem
Bismillahi ‘r-Rahmani ‘r-Raheem
Each emirate has its own procedure to verify halal compliance but as of today there are no general standards and regulations. A new system will be put in place soon to make sure that halal mark means halal.
