Is McDonalds fast food chain stores Halaal?

Question

If not, why not, and why do (some) then display Halaal certificates?

Answer

The Jamiat has not certified any of McDonalds chain stores as Halaal. We suggest every Muslim community establish a Halaal Department and examine/supervise outlets claiming to be Halaal and avise their communities accordingly.

The outlets should be notified of the Halaal department and the recognition it has by the local community.
