so today i am looking at foods. christians have no foods that are forbidden. the only thing about being a christian is that alchahol is usually seen as bad if you see it as a way to get drunk but, drinking with dinner and casually is not deemed as forbidden. Now muslims have two different catagories that all food can fall into depending on what they are made of. these two catagories are Halal and Hiram. Hilal translates to "legal" or "allowed". These are food that are permitted, where as Hiram translates to "unlawful" or "Prohibited". Hiram food is absolutely forbidden and is never to be eaten by muslims because Allah* forbids it. The following is a list of hiram foods i found online.
-Pig/Swine/Pork and its by-products.
-Blood and and blood by-products.
-Carnivorous animals.
-Reptiles and insects.
-Halal animals which are not slaughtered according to the Islamic Law.
-Animals killed in the name of anyone other than God.
-The bodies of dead animals or dead before slaughtering.
-Alcohol and intoxicants such as Wine, Ethyl Alcohol, and Spirits etc.
If a muslim is not sure which catagorie to put any given food in then it is considered "Mushbooh" which is an arabic word meaning "doubtful". if any foods or drinks are doubtful then they try to avoid them. i also found a list of some examples of mushbooh.
-Gelatin.
-Enzymes.
-Emulsifiers.
-Lard.
-Glycerol/glycerin etc.
*Allah: Arabic word meaning God
