Am an Ethiopian 22-year living in India for studying purpose and for almost 4 years, I have Questions: Should Mc 'Donaldls's chicken be Halaal to eat! If that the issue how about the rest of the restaurants in India (Pune) I mean, we have the College's Canteen or a normal restaurant in all over the City that own by a non-Muslim people? OK we have a Muslim's restaurants but for some people it's too far and it's quit expenses?

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

Dear brother may Allaah reward you with the best for your desire to eat only lawful foods.

India is a Muslim populated country and it is very easy to know (by asking Muslim authorities or organization) about the meat whether it is slaughtered according to Islam or not.

In principle, the meat slaughtered by non-Muslims is forbidden except the people of the book.

For details read Fataawa: 84072 and 82030.

Allaah Knows best.
