Asalaam o'liekum
Recently a post has been made in the sister's section about foods with many benefits. An issuse came up about mushrooms and how they are beneficial, however a few sisters are confused as they have thought that mushrooms were harram, whereas I haven't heard of the vegatable being haraam before.
Could you give us more details on this please. InshAllah.
Allah Hafiz

Bismillahir Rahmanir Raheem, Assalamu 'Alaykum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu,Praise be to Allah the Lord of the Worlds, and endless blessings be upon our Beloved Messenger, the Last Prophet of Islam (Salla Allahu ta'ala 'alayhi wa Sallam).Jazakallah for your question, although however spurious or absurd it may seem, it is clear that mushrooms are not haram. Mushrooms, are an umbrella shaped vegetable that grow in the earth, out of which some are poisonous. Nevertheless the majority of which are perfect for consumption, once they are washed etc. Mushrooms are grown in the earth, and any form of vegetation that grows in the earth, is consumable, as long as it is not haram, is permissable to eat. Because mushrooms are not normally consumed in the subcontinent or the middle-east, some people seem to think that the vegetable is haram. Yet any vegetable that is not misused in any way, as magic mushrooms, are sometimes used to satisfy the habit of its users, then the mushroom is deemed to be halal, as long as it is used in the proper way. Mushrooms are usually made in 'English dinners', and can normally be used as a side dish, as well as curries, or used on pizzas. All these methods of consuming mushrooms are perfectly permissable, and can be consumed by the Muslims. Those who do claim that it is haram, will have to provide proof, from the Qur'an al kareem, or the Sunnah, in order to negate the permissability for the uses of mushrooms, otherwise, it is not in any way correct to claim something is haram, when the Beloved Messenger of Allah the Almighty, or Allah the Almighty himself has not ordained it to be. May Allah the Almighty open up all the gates of knowledge for us all, so that we may differentiate between what is right and what is wrong in the correct manner. (Amin).Wallahu A'lamu Biththawaab M.
