Question

Is food made by hindus or people of any other other religion halal?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Foods prepared by non-Muslims, Hindus, Christians etc., are fit for Muslim consumption on condition that these foods are halal and there are no haram ingredients or contamination of haram in these foods.[1]&[2].

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
