Question

I have doubts of eating at such places because it is non Muslim owned, but i am told by other Muslims, that i can eat there because it IS halaal, please advise

Answer

If a food outlet is owned by a non-Muslim but managed by an upright and reliable Muslim who is conscious of his Deen and knows the laws of Halaal and Haraam, then it is permissible to eat from such an outlet if such a Muslim manager claims the food to be Halaal.

The clarification of any Halaal body is not a Shar?ee prerequisite to determine a food outlet to be Halaal or Haraam. it is merely a guideline.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

“The Halal certification/seal in this age of excessive fraud, deceit and cheating does not necessarily imply that the food products are Halal. We understand that much of the meat products distributed and sold in the Middle East…”
