Question
In a Jumuah bayaan, an Aalim tried to prove from the Qur'aan that one should not be too conscious of the food one eats. He says you will never find 100% halaal. He says that according to the Qur'aan we should eat the 'best food', and this does not mean that it should be 100% halaal. He said that we should be moderate, and that we should trust the organization which supervises the abattoir? Please comment.
Answer
The molvi sahib spoke drivel. He does not know whether he is going forward or backward, hence the nonsensical disgorgement. It is clear that he is a SANHA lackey hence the stupid and flabby arguments to justify the consumption of carrion. His concept of 'moderation' has been fabricated for legalizing the consumption of halaalized carrion – halaalized by the vile 'haalaal' certificate bodies who have fed Muslims with even halaalized pork. The Qur'aan in many places emphasises not only halaal, but halaal-tayyib food. The 'best food' is halaal-tayyib food which is 100% halaal.
The lifestyle of the Akaabireen and former Muslims confirms that they abstained from food which according to us is not even doubtful. Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) commanded abstention from even mushtabah (doubtful) food. Food which is not 100% halaal is haraam. A food cannot be 99% 'halaal' and 1% haraam. The 1% haraam renders the whole pot 100% haraam. One drop of urine in a 20 litre bucket of water renders the whole bucket of water haraam. The water is not 99.99% 'halaal' and .01%. When a man consumes halaalized carrion then his brains become carrionized and 'stupidized', hence the molvi has acquitted himself so stupidly in his Jumuah bayaan. Carrion has deranged his intelligence, hence he disgorged his gutha to make a fool of himself.
The Ambiya (alayhimus salaam), everyone is aware, were meticulous in observing the laws of the Shariah. No one can surpass them in any sphere of Taqwa. Despite the exceptional caution they exercised in their food, etc., Allah Ta'ala specifically commanding the Ambiya, says in the Qur'aan Majeed: "O Rusul (Messengers)! Eat Tayyibaat (100% halaal, pure and wholesome food), and practise virtuous deeds." One of the fundamental basis for the ability (taufeeq) to render A'maal-e-Saalihah, is to consume 100% halaal-tayyib food. A person who is careless regarding his food, is an animal or he conducts himself like a savage who devours any rot gluttonously like an animal.
The examples of abstention from even mushtabah, leave alone haraam, food are numerous. We shall cite just one such incident for your benefit. Imaam Ahmad Bin Hambal (rahmatullah alayh) never ate bread which was baked in Baghdad where he used to live. The flour for his bread would come from the city of Mosul. He was extremely meticulous in observing this rule. The reason for his abstention was that Hadhrat Umar (radhiyallahu anhu) had declared the whole of Baghdad to be Waqf for the Mujaahideen. Thus according to the Shariah to this day Baghdad is Waqf land. Hence, Imaam Hambal regarded the flour and whatever grew there to be haraam since these were the products of usurpation.
One day when the bread was brought to Imaam Hambal, his firaasat (spiritual insight) indicated that there was something amiss with the bread. He questioned the cook about the ingredients in the bread. The cook said that the flour was from Mosul, but the yeast was from his (Imam Ahmad's) son, Shaikh Abdullah who was also a Wali. Imaam Hambal abstained from eating the bread because the 'emulsifier' (the yeast) according to him was mashkook (doubtful). The bread was afterwards dumped into the river.
There are innumerable such examples among the Sahaabah and all the Auliya throughout Islam's history. A person who does not make sure what he eats, will ultimately follow in the footsteps of shaitaan as mentioned in the Qur'aan. If it is known that a person is feeding others slow poison, will the molvi advise them to eat if they have trust in him? But as far as roohaani (spiritual) poison is concerned, the molvi sahib has no qualms in advising Muslims to consume the rotten, diseased, haraam carrion which the shayaateen halaalize.
