Under Islamic law, certain foods are prohibited: pork and its by-products, alcohol, blood, and animals not slaughtered correctly. Halal meat must come from a Muslim butcher who recites the name of God at the time of slaughter. Many Muslims pay close attention when dining out to ensure that ingredients and preparation follow these principles.
For practising Muslims, following halal rules is part of religious life and an expression of faith in everyday choices.
