What is Halal?

Halal is a term in Islam. The Arabic word halal means permitted, allowed. The opposite of halal is haram, forbidden. According to Islam there is no doubt that people may eat animals. Animals are indeed not only for their own interests created. They have no intellectual capacity and do not have the possibility of free choice. People have this one, so they are above animals. One of the other arguments for and use of animals allowed to eat, that man is an animal, not ward off death and destruction. Even if an animal is not slaughtered by humans, it can be attacked by another animal and thus a horrible death. The fact that people can kill animals, does not have any dead animal that can be easily eaten. The Quran states very strict and some may not. First, the eating of certain prohibited animals: pigs, as most people know. Even animals that appear to be found dead without being deliberately slaughtered by someone, may not be eaten. All animals in sea life, in all ways may be caught and eaten, as long as no one unnecessarily cruel manner. Fish but also marine mammals, from his own halal.

Halal meat is meat to be bled from a limited number of permitted animals that were slaughtered according to Islamic rules. (Allah'whu Akhbar)
