9 Haram Foods In Islam That Children Need To Know

 

9 Haram Foods in Isalm: Other than pork, here are some other foods that Muslims can’t eat.

In Islam, Allah SWT has given all of His servants both things to do and things to avoid
doing. One of them is that you can’t eat or drink things that aren’t allowed.

 

There is a reason why Islam says that certain foods are forbidden and should
not be eaten. This is written in the Quran as a command from Allah SWT.

One of them is written in verse 3 of Surah Al-Maidah:

 

حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةُ وَالدَّمُ وَلَحْمُ الْخِنْزِيرِ وَمَا أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ اللَّهِ بِهِ وَالْمُنْخَنِقَةُ وَالْمَوْقُوذَةُ وَالْمُتَرَدِّيَةُ وَالنَّطِيحَةُ وَمَا أَكَلَ السَّبُعُ إِلَّا مَا ذَكَّيْتُمْ وَمَا ذُبِحَ عَلَى النُّصُبِ

Meat that has been beaten, thrown down, gored, or eaten by wild animals,
except for meat you have killed yourself and meat sacrificed to idols, is prohibited,
as are carrion, blood, pork, and meat slaughtered in the name of anything other than Allah.

So, what are the foods that Muslims shouldn’t eat because they are against Islam?

9 Haram Foods In Islam (1- Babi)

Pigs are one of the foods that Muslims can’t eat, which is a well-known fact among
all Muslims. As it says in verse 3 of Surah Al-Maidah, pork is one of the foods that
Muslims are not allowed to eat.

2 – Carcass

Any kind of dead animal is the next type of food that Muslims are not supposed
to eat. Allah SWT says in the letter Al-Maidah verse 3 that it is against Islamic
law for an animal to die in an unnatural way or without being slaughtered.

Some types of dead animals that are not allowed are:

Animals that die because they can’t breathe
Animals who die because of other animals’ horns
Wild animals killed animals that were being kept as pets.

3 – Creatures Who Eat Dirt

Al-Jalalah is all types of animals, with four legs or two, that eat dung,
whether it’s from other animals or people. Al-Jalalah is one of the foods
that Muslims are not allowed to eat.

4 – Killing Animals In The Name Of Someone Other Than Allah SWT

As we’ve already talked about, animals that are killed in the name of something
other than Allah SWT are also haram foods. In addition to being said in verse 3
of Surah Al-Maidah, the rule is also mentioned in verse 173 of Surah Al-Baqarah.

5 – A Flow of Blood

The blood then starts to move. You are not allowed to consume flowing blood,
just as you are not allowed to consume pork or dead animals, according to
Allah SWT in Surah Al-An’am verse 145.

Blood that flows is harmful to your health because it contains a lot of uric acids if you consider it from a medical standpoint. If you eat it, it might be bad for your health.

6 – Liquor

It’s not a secret that Muslims can’t eat pigs or drink alcohol, just like it’s not
a secret that they can’t eat pigs or eat dead animals.

This is what HR. Muslim says:

“Everything that makes you drunk is khamr, and everything that
makes you drunk is haram.”

 

7 – Things That Have Teeth

The next thing that Muslims can’t eat is meat from animals with teeth.
In a hadith, which means saying, the Prophet SAW once said:

“The Messenger of God (PBUH) said it was wrong to eat any wild animal
with teeth and any bird with sharp claws.” (HR. Muslim)

8 – Birds Whose Claws Are Sharp

In addition to animals with sharp teeth, haram foods also include birds with
sharp nails. A hadith also says this to be true,

Like what the Prophet SAW said in the last point, it is also forbidden to eat
birds with sharp nails. Eagles, eagles, and so on are some of these kinds of birds.

9 – Animals That Are Forbidden By Religion To Be Killed

The next type of food that Muslims shouldn’t eat but shouldn’t be haram
is any kind of animal that is against their religion to kill. Imam Shafi’i and his
friends once said that if it is forbidden to kill an animal, it is also forbidden to eat it.
