Question:
Living in Australia for confectioneries (ice-cream, lollies and cakes etc) do we need to check ingredients that all ingredients are halal and there are no ingredients derived from pork or insects ? Should we refuse food if don’t know ingredients ?
Answer:
This question is about halal cooking which is the cooking without the use of haram ingredients such as alcohol and pork or things which contain the byproducts of those. However, it is permissible to eat such food as long as it is not known that it contains meat and its derivatives that are Islamically forbidden.
