Is it permissable to eat in resturants? Can we eat food prepared by Non-Muslims? Can we eat onlyin veg only resturants?

Answer

Tayyibaat refers to that food which is pure (Halaal) beyond doubt. Therefore, precaution should be exercised in determining which food is Halaal beyond doubt. It is not sufficient to rely on the Halaal signs advertised on windows of food outlets as many people use the sign only for commercial purposes.
