Comparison with kashrut
There is a great deal of similarity between the laws of Dhabiĥa halal and kashrut, and there are also various differences. More information can be found at Comparison of Dhabiĥa Halal and kashrut.
Debate on permissibility of kashrut
Whether or not Muslims can use kashrut standards as a replacement for halal standards is an ongoing debate. However, sura 5, verse 5 in the Quran deems the food of Christians and Jews as permissible, except alcohol which is forbidden in Islam.
Halal in non-Islamic Countries
In Dearborn, Michigan, United States, home to one of the largest Muslim and Arab populations in the United States, a number of fast food chains like McDonald’s introduced halal chicken nuggets. Recent laws passed in the United States have made it illegal to sell, distribute, and/or produce food that has been mislabeled “halal,” when it is determined that the food does not meet Islamic dietary standards. Similar laws protect kosher foods. Some were struck down by the courts as an unconstitutional sanction of religious provisions, but others were upheld as consumer protection regulations. See Kashrut.
McDonald’s is intending to offer Halal meals in the United Kingdom with two of its franchises currently on trial, offering this service.
After success in Australia where sales doubled as a result of McDonald’s changing a restaurant to cater of the needs of Muslims. All McDonald’s Restaurants in Singapore are Halal certified.
