Many Muslims here in the U.K.

Question

Many Muslims here in the U.K. have started to use non- Muslim/Hindu caterers to supply the food on occasions of weddings, walimahs, etc. These caterers claim that the meats they are providing are from halaal sources. Unfortunately in this time of gross negligence no one goes to verify such claims. Many Muslims thinking that the invitation is from a Muslim family, consume the meat provided by the host not knowing that the caterer is a Hindu. Is it permissible to buy cooked meats from non- Muslim caterers? If the host is going to entertain his Muslim guests with meat supplied by non-Muslim caterers, should he let his guests know the source of the meat?

Answer

It is most certainly not permissible to buy meat products from non-Muslim caterers whether the meat is cooked or uncooked. It is not permissible for Muslims to eat such meat at the function of the host who serves meat obtained from kuffaar caterers. Leave alone informing the people, it is incumbent for the host to abstain from buying such haraam meat. If the miscreant host believes that the haraam meat is permissible, then obviously he will not inform the people of the source of the meat. Those who are aware of the haraam source should publicize it to make Muslims aware of the haraam food they will be consuming at the function.

Such a dangerous revolution of the mind and heart has overtaken Muslims that their Imaan has become eroded to the brink of effacement. In former days, one felt free to eat food served by a Muslim. There was no need to doubt. But in our age of degeneration it is no longer permissible to consume the food of people who even have an outward appearance of the Deen. The beard, kurtah, burqah, performing Salaat with Jamaa't five times a day, fasting, even Nafl fasting, etc., are no longer evidence of Taqwa. Most such persons outward Deeni appearance are also corrupt in their hearts, in their personal dealings, in their pursuit for money and in their social relationships in general. They parade as men and women of piety while their hearts are barren and bereft of Taqwa.

The degree of the erosion of their Imaan is such that they relish in eating carrion. If they see a 'halaal' sticker of some evil halaal certificate vendor affixed to pork or bottled urine, they will consume it without compunction. Not a twinge of conscience will affect their hearts. They are rotten to the core - just as rotten and diseased as the halaalized carrion they consume.

In former times the principle of the Shariah was that things are initially halaal. That is, there is no need to doubt and believe that something is haraam when it is served by a Muslim. But in this age, the principle is the converse. That is, everything will be haraam unless proven to be halaal. It is therefore not permissible to consume the food of even Muslims if you are not aware of the source of the food. The deluge of haraam food, in particular carrion meats such as that halaalized by SANHA, MJC, etc., has dangerously corrupted and eroded Imaan to the degree of nullity. The raging tide of shamelessness, immodesty, immorality, fornication and adultery prevalent among Muslims in this age is the direct consequence of consuming haraam foods like pigs and dogs. This deluge of haraam meats has increased the carnal bestiality in people, hence they are totally unable to understand the major sins of immorality in which they indulge.

It is the ruin of Imaan that makes Hindu and kuffaar meat palatable and digestible to 'Muslims' of this era. It is compulsory on those who are aware to notify the Muslim community about this haraam state of affairs. It is not permissible to maintain silence on this issue. The Ulama who condone this evil state with their silence and even active promotion are the DUMB DEVILS to whom Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) refers in the following Hadith: "He who maintains silence regarding the Haq, is a Dumb Shaitaan."

FDA FINALLY ADMITS CHICKEN MEAT

CONTAINS CANCER- CAUSING ARSENIC

After years of sweeping the issue under the rug and hoping no one would notice, the FDA has now finally admitted that chicken meat sold in the USA contains arsenic, a cancer-causing toxic chemical that's fatal in high doses. But the real story is where this arsenic comes from: It's added to the chicken feed on purpose!

Even worse, the FDA says its own research shows that the arsenic added to the chicken feed ends up in the chicken meat where it is consumed by humans. So for the last sixty years, American consumers who eat conventional chicken have been swallowing arsenic, a known cancer-causing chemical. (http://www.phillyburbs.com/news/ loc...)

Until this new study, both the poultry industry and the FDA denied that arsenic fed to chickens ended up in their meat. The fairytale excuse story we've all been fed for sixty years is that "the arsenic is excreted in the chicken feces."

There's no scientific basis for making such a claim... it's just what the poultry industry wanted everybody to believe.

But now the evidence is so undeniable that the manufacturer of the chicken feed product known as

Roxarsone has decided to pull the product off the shelves (http:// www.grist.org/food-safety/20...).

And what's the name of this manufacturer that has been putting arsenic in the chicken feed for all these years? Pfizer, of course -- the very same company that makes vaccines containing chemical adjuvants that are injected into children.

Technically, the company making the Roxarsone chicken feed is a subsidiary of Pfizer, called Alpharma LLC. Even though Alpharma now has agreed to pull this toxic feed chemical off the shelves in the United States, it says it won't necessarily remove it from feed products in other countries unless it is forced by regulators to do so. As reported by AP:

"Scott Brown of Pfizer Animal

Health's Veterinary Medicine Research and Development division said the company also sells the ingredient in about a dozen other countries. He said Pfizer is reaching out to regulatory authorities in those countries and will decide whether to sell it on an individual basis." (http:// www.usatoday.com/money/indus...) But even as its arsenic-containing product is pulled off the shelves, the FDA continues its campaign of denial, claiming arsenic in chickens is at such a low level that it's still safe to eat. This is even as the FDA says arsenic is a carcinogen, meaning it increases the risk of cancer.
