What Is Tayyib?

Answered by Halal Monitoring Services Updated

The full answer

Tayyib means good, wholesome and pure.

Allah frequently connects Halal with Tayyib. Halal asks whether something is religiously permissible. Tayyib encourages us to think about quality, cleanliness, wholesomeness and responsible treatment.

The ideal food is therefore both Halal and Tayyib.
