A Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant which sell haraam chickens, sets aside two days a week to sell only halaal chickens.

Question

A Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant which sell haraam chickens, sets aside two days a week to sell only halaal chickens. The friers, utensils, etc. are thoroughly washed, and the oil is changed. Only halaal chickens are fried on these two days. Is it permissible to buy and consume on these two days?

Answer

It will not be proper to eat at the haraam KFC even on the two days when it is claimed that halaal chicken is served. Don't be duped by this arrangement. It is not permissible for Muslims to patronize a restaurant which deals in haraam chickens even if not on specific days. Furthermore, it is not possible to effectively supervise these evil restaurants. Also, the chickens stocked by KFC are diseased battery chickens which cause even cancer.
