Restaurants & Eating Out

What About Shared Grills and Cooking Surfaces?

Answered by Halal Monitoring Services Updated

The full answer

Ingredients are only part of the question.

Preparation and possible contamination also matter.

A Halal item should not become contaminated with clearly Haram food during cooking or handling. This is why restaurant inspection can provide more confidence than simply verifying a meat brand.
