Question

The Maulana who visits us in prison told Muslim prisoners that since they are in prison, it is permissible for them to eat the SANHA and MJC certified chickens and meat. I argued with him and pointed out that all these chickens and meat are carrion, and that non-meat foods are available in prison. Please comment.

Answer

You gave the deviate so-called Maulana a befitting response. All meat and chicken served in the prisons are haraam regardless who the certifying body is. All these bodies such as SANHA and MJC are only in pursuit of money. They issue 'halaal' certificates for the haraam, diseased, carrion of the kuffaar. The 'maulana' who advised you to eat the haraam meat because you are in prison is astray. He does not understand the laws of Islam. There are many so-called 'maulanas' who have titles but lack in the Knowledge of Islam. It is for this reason he advised you to eat haraam. As long as other kinds of food are available, it is never permissible to consume the haraam filth which SANHA and MJC certify.
