KFC gone Halal?

ASALATU WASALAMU ALAYKA YA RASULLALLAH Salla Allahu 'alayhi wa Sallam

One of KFC (kentucky fried Chicken) outlets in my hometown has announced it has gone Halal for a trail period, there is a mixture of reactions from Muslims in the area, The main concerns are:

1) Is the halal method accepted by Hanafi Scholars
2) Have they disposed of the old stock (non Haraam)

The question is would you trust KFC if was to go halal in your area and would you allow your family to eat from KFC??

Do share your views and valuable opinions.

Asslmau Alaykum Sister Nomee that is a very tough question to answer.
I will stay away to be on the safe side Sister.Hope your well.

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Thats a very good question dear sister. I would say i would stay away unless the ulama or other muslims are 100% sure everything is correct. If they are mixing oils and cooking haraam food with halal food then there is a problem. I would not take my family there until this all cleared up just to be on the safe side. Furthermore i would not trust Kfc or any non muslim store or shop unless someone went there had it checked out.

I can smell chicken, im hungry now ;D

Isnt there some ruling that says that during whole procession from the slaughter till the selling point.. one muslim should be there to make sure that its the same thing..??

I wouldnt trust them.. unless some respected aalim says that its allowed without any doubt..

Its hard to even trust a muslim selling halal meat, because there are endless amounts of cases where muslim meat-sellers have been caught selling dead/haram cows and lambs.

i dont know because i dont eat out much

prefer homemade

but if your imam has said its ok then your day

[Naseeruddin Qadri]

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

I would not trust unless you can confirm its correctness through some means like any respected aalim or some other way.

In my hometown, ppl buy meat(in case of chicken) where you can see a muslim person slaughtering live. so it is not much doubtfull. Even if the shop is of non-muslim, they keep muslim guys for slaughtering purpose otherwise there are full chances that shop has will get closed as no muslim customer comes to their shop .

Currently I am staying in hostel where non-muslims provide chicken and they also say it is from muslim shop. I have tried to know its correctness. But could not find it. So left eating chicken. I have it when I go my hometown.

So better not to take risk when it is not confirmed.

Great replies everyone, I am not able to trust them either, al hamdulilla we do have many Halal fast foods which are certified Halal.

i was going through google looking on a website since i have heard that nandos are haram since it has come to be that their supplier of chicken elctricute the chickens. on this website it aslo stated that kfc is halal and that the hfc (halad food authority) have certified it. there is also another authority called hmc ( halal monitoring commitee ) who state that nados and kfc is haram since they electicute their chickens. the website i went on is www.ramadantimetable.co.uk/home/.../57-is-nandos-haram. hope that this helps.

I agree with brother asif's reply. And in this age of fitna where the word 'TRUST' is just for the dictionary I would prefer not to trust people of the book inspite of their endless confessions of truth about their statements and actions

If they said that they have gone Halaal in my area I would believe them, definitely, but where it concerns eating from there, I would never do that, because it will be almost like a crime against not eating/ordering takeouts from Asian take-aways. (plus nothing can top up there food)

Interesting question asked, Sweet Sister Nomee.

Assalaam Alaikum

Unless all the staff and management are muslim,along with suppliers/slaughterers of chickens, they should be avoided at all costs.

Non muslims should not be left unsupervised(by a muslim,even for the shortest of time) with halal meat,this according to certain sunnis scholars is a condition,i believe.

PS Asid Naqshbandi,Electrocuting chicken(dipping heads into lightly electrified water,to stun) before zabiha does not neccassarily render them haraam as long as they are alive before being slaughtered.

Although any that do do die should not be mixed with the others that have been slaughtered properly according to shariah,its this risk that worries people and rightfully so.

[fatma]

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

i wouldn't eat from them even if i saw the local imam eating there (although i don't know what he looks like ;D ) as what is the guarantee that even if the meat is halal that the other ingredients are too?

these days even chip shops coat their fish in beer battar as it makes the coating more airy and tasty apparently (wouldn't know as i haven't eaten them) then they admit to frying their sausages in the same oil as the chips at busy times.

best to avoid and i'm glad you bought this up sis as we have a local KFC which is "halal" too but i steer clear of it.

another thing is if you start taking your kids there and then after a month or two it's no longer halal your kids may not notice that and still eat there as they remember eating there with their parents in which case you will be held accountable for their consumption of haraam foods. best avoided at all costs.

I pray you all are in the best of health and imaan, Ameen.

I got the following text which i would like to share

'Regarding 'HALAL KFC'

please note that the halal KFC is certified by HFA, Please note that HFA apply a policy which uses slaughter by machines, no Ulema, Mufti or scholar has stated that this is permissible. Please also note that HFA is a group which does not include any muftis...plz forward to others to make them aware of the so called 'halal' KFC.'

[MadniMunna]

Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu

Many Muslims have started going to KFC but we are not going as it is not proper halal
