Giving doubtful food to non-Muslims

· 14 Jumada I 1435 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Can a muslim give off doubtful foodstuffs like chocolates, biscuits, etc to a non muslim because throwing off mashbooh foodstuffs is a little upsetting?

Answer

If one is not clear about the ingredients of a certain food, one can give it in sadaqah to a non-Muslim.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
