Halal & Haram Foods

Halal & Haram     

    In Islam there are only certain types of food we can eat. These are called halal foods. In Islam it is not prohibited to eat meat. There is a variety of animals we can eat. But there are also animals that are haram, not allowed. For at example ; Swine, donkey . We are not allowed to eat dead carcasses or an animal with blood still in it. The reason behind this is because Allah (god) has forbidden it. Sheep, goat, camel, chicken, and deer are halal. 

                                  Hunting in Islam

   

    Hunting for animals has its own  process in Islam. We do not kill the animal immediately.  We shoot the animal in the leg then follow the blood trail. Once we find the animal and you see it dying, you slaughter at the throat at the carotid artery.
