What does HALAL mean in Scrabble?
adjective
Permitted or lawful under Islamic religious law, most commonly describing food, especially meat, prepared according to Islamic dietary requirements.
Meat described as halal comes from an animal slaughtered in a specific way, with a trained person invoking a blessing and draining the blood quickly and completely, a method meant to be both humane and ritually correct. Beyond food, the word can describe any action, product, or transaction considered lawful and permissible under Islamic law, standing opposite to haram, meaning forbidden. Supermarkets and restaurants in many countries now label halal products clearly so that observant Muslim customers can shop and dine with confidence. The certification process typically involves inspection by a recognised religious authority to confirm that preparation methods meet the required standards.
