· 9 Rajab 1421 AH1 min readFatwa 1112English

Question

I am living with a Hindu room mate. And I was sharing all of my utensils with him and in the same time i was also using his stuff too. I had little knowledge about this act but I want detail explanation in the light of Quraan and Sunnah. Jazakallah Khair!

Answer

If all the food is Halaal, then there is nothing wrong in sharing the utensils.

However, if the Hindu brings his own food then you should exercise precaution by not using the same utensils before washing them.
