Certified halal meat

From Foreignliving

Using the term certified halal is aimed at avoiding confusion and disagreements over what is halal and what is not, and instead providing the reader with the information he is looking for.

The usage of this term thus indicates that the seller of meat or meat-based products should have a publicly displayed certificate (not just a poster printout). This includes that the meat should be of a permissible category and the animal should have been slaughtered in the name of Allah according to Islamic ritual. As a result, shops selling non-permissible categories of meat (such as pork) or otherwise permissible meat (such as chicken or beef) that is not guaranteed to have been slaughtered according to the Islamic ritual should not be categorised as certified halal on this wiki.

Additionally, there are some people who are sensitive to the fact whether the seller also sells alcoholic drinks or other kinds of meat in addition to certified halal meat. Keeping their sensitivity in mind, it is recommended to provide this extra information wherever possible instead of arguing over the correctness of each other's point of view.
