The opposite of halal is haram, which means unlawful or prohibited. Halal and haram are universal terms that apply to all facets of life. However, we will use these terms only in relation to food products, meat products, cosmetics, personal care products, pharmaceuticals, food ingredients, and food contact materials. While many things are clearly halal or haram, there are some things which are not clear. Further information is needed to categorize them as halal or haram. Such items are often referred to as mashbooh(Doubtful), which means doubtful or questionable. * All foods are considered halal except the following (which are haram):* Swine/Pork and its by-products* Animals improperly slaughtered or dead before slaughtering* Alcoholic drinks and intoxicants* Carnivorous animals, birds of prey and certain other animals* Foods contaminated with any of the above products Foods containing ingredients such as gelatin, enzymes, emulsifiers, and flavors are questionable (mashbooh), because the origin of these ingredients is not known.</blockquote>
