[0:00]Kamilah rahmani r-rahim al-hamdu lillahi rabbil aalameen o salat wa salam ala

[0:09]muhammadin wa ala ala nabina Tajin my dear brothers and sisters assalamu

[0:14]alaykum warahmatullahi wa barakato so this is our second session of this

[0:20]course a code of practice for Muslims in the West last week

[0:28]we spoke about the Hydra the Islamic migration and whether or not

[0:34]it is permissible for Muslims to migrate to places where it can

[0:43]pose a threat to their Islamic identity and to their religion we

[0:47]talked about that thoroughly so today we are going to talk about

[0:51]another subject and that is eating and drinking pertaining to Muslims and

[1:01]the West now as an introduction I need to Salam alaikum warahmatullah

[1:07]point out to a very common issue and that is for Muslims

[1:14]who live in the Middle East in a predominantly Muslim countries they

[1:19]don't have the challenge we Muslims in the West face the reason

[1:28]is there is a law and Islam called a Nara be called

[1:34]souk el muslimeen which literally means muslims market what is muslim market

[1:46]Muslim markets means that if I'm a Muslim and I live in

[1:56]a predominantly Muslim country and I go to the market to buy

[1:59]some meat say lamb or beef or chicken I don't have to

[2:07]ask I don't know how I don't have to check and verify

[2:12]if the meat was slaughtered according to the Islamic you know code

[2:16]I just gone by and don't worry about it why because I

[2:21]am in the Muslim market what that means is I assume I

[2:30]assume legit let me legitimately that since I'm in a Muslim country

[2:33]since I'm dealing with Muslims I assume that those Muslims butchers have

[2:39]slaughtered the meat according to the Islamic law so I don't need

[2:48]to worry about it then the question is how do you know

[2:51]that those Muslims have slaughtered the meat according Salam alaykom to the

[2:56]Islamic law I just assumed being Muslim they would would do do

[3:06]it the right way and if they turn to be not slaughtering

[3:10]the meat according to the Islamic law this is something between them

[3:16]and allah subhanaw taala it's not my responsibility so I have the

[3:21]luxury if I am in a Muslim in a predominantly Muslim country

[3:28]I have the luxury of going to the market buy the meat

[3:31]there are regular meat I'm not talking about pork for example I'm

[3:35]talking about the regular meat where beef lamb and chicken maybe camel

[3:45]I don't need to verify the slaughter I can just go by

[3:49]it and eat it I have no issue but what about here

[3:54]in the West there is nothing called Muslims market when I talk

[3:58]about Muslim market I don't mean that for example Warren Avenue no

[4:04]no we're not talking about Warren Avenue where there are a few

[4:08]markets belonging to Muslims we're talking about the whole market belongs to

[4:13]Muslims that what we mean it does not apply here in the

[4:16]United States in a Britain and France so it is not a

[4:24]Muslim country to assume that the market is Islamic there are Muslim

[4:28]individuals but that's a different issue that does not make the whole

[4:33]market Islamic when we're talking about your market we're not talking about

[4:38]the physical place that we can go UK we can say you

[4:43]know what you go to Oran Avenue it's all Islamic you go

[4:49]to Atlantic Avenue and in Brooklyn it's all Arab and Muslims no

[4:52]no we're not talking about the physical place it's a concept that

[4:55]once you're in a Muslim country their market is an Islamic market

[5:01]meaning it is ruled by Islamic laws and therefore I don't need

[5:07]to verify here in this country and in similar countries in the

[5:11]Western countries we don't have a Muslim market this concept does not

[5:17]exist because we do not live in a Muslim country where I

[5:23]can claim the market and this country is Islamic or Muslim therefore

[5:28]the ruling will be different the ruling applying to meat for us

[5:38]in this country is different than the ruling that applies to Muslims

[5:42]and the Middle East in most in a predominantly Muslim countries and

[5:46]this is why we had to discuss this issue otherwise consuming meat

[5:52]is not something that is limited to Muslims in the West Muslims

[5:56]and the West and the East anywhere they are they consume meat

[6:00]but why are we discussing this issue particular remember the theme of

[6:08]this class is that we're discussing Islamic laws pertaining to Muslims where

[6:14]in the West because there is no Muslim market because that concept

[6:20]does not apply we don't have the luxury of going into any

[6:25]supermarket and buying meat without verifying so we have to deal with

[6:33]this issue another word another word because we don't have that luxury

[6:36]then we have to verify the process of the slaughter since we

[6:44]live in the West ok so what are the standards are what

[6:48]are the norms how do I verify the authenticity of halal meat

[6:57]if I am in the West do I have to go every

[7:02]time to the slaughterhouse and see a butcher slaughtering the animal according

[7:08]to the Islamic law and that's not possible that's not even practical

[7:13]do I have to go every time myself to a farm and

[7:17]annarbor somewhere and buy the Sheep myself and kill it to make

[7:24]sure that I can eat halal meat well that's one way but

[7:27]not anybody can do that certainly not me I can do that

[7:34]some people maybe can can do that as I know some people

[7:39]do in California as well as here they go to one of

[7:41]those farms they grab a lamb and they kill it and they

[7:47]give it to the farm owner he processes processes the meat and

[7:51]they take it back well this is not something that everybody can

[7:58]afford I I can do that so how do I eat meat

[8:00]then how do I consume meat halal meat in this country if

[8:04]I cannot go to the farm and kill this sheep myself if

[8:10]I cannot go to the slaughterhouse every time and see the process

[8:14]through my eyes then how do I do that there is another

[8:22]law very similar to the Muslim market and that is called in

[8:28]Islam in the Islamic jurisprudence that is called eodil Muslim what is

[8:41]the ideal Muslim the Muslim seller what is Muslim seller what does

[8:53]that mean it means if I go to a Muslim seller who

[9:00]sells meat I assume because he is Muslim he would sell a

[9:08]lot now is it always the case no he may cheat as

[9:12]a lot of time they do cheat but if they cheat this

[9:18]is something between him and allah subhanaw taala allah told me if

[9:23]you go to a Muslim selling meat and he tells you it

[9:26]is halal sometime he tells you it's not challah if he tells

[9:32]you it's not halal you cannot buy and pretend it's a lot

[9:38]no he's saying this is halal meat if I go to a

[9:42]Muslim individual selling meats whether he is Sunni or Shia it doesn't

[9:46]matter it doesn't matter he is Muslim as long as he's Muslim

[9:52]I can buy the meter for and he says it is halal

[9:56]I can buy the meter from him and I'm not responsible for

[10:04]any consequences afterward even if it turned out to be not true

[10:08]he was lying to me I'm not responsible unless you know he

[10:12]is lying now if you know he is lying that's a different

[10:18]issue remember in two cases you cannot buy from him once when

[10:22]you know for sure he is but lying how he is selling

[10:30]me meat and on the box that says what huh Kroger's I

[10:39]see he's using Kroger's meat and he is telling me it's challah

[10:43]he's lying or in the second case he's telling me say if

[10:49]this is Kroger meat I'm selling I'm not saying it's halal by

[10:53]him being Muslims not going to change anything if he tells me

[10:56]this is Kroger's he's selling no not in this situation we're assuming

[11:05]he's selling meat I do not know if he's lying or telling

[11:08]the truth as long as there is a possibility is telling the

[11:13]truth and he's telling me it's challah and he is Muslim that's

[11:17]it I can buy and eat if you listen to this law

[11:25]golden law rule he don't worry about any Muslim selling meat people

[11:32]kill me say it sad meat halal or no side meat sad

[11:37]side anybody if he is Muslim okay and he is selling halal

[11:45]me he's saying this is halal buy it and don't worry about

[11:48]anything don't worry if it turns to be not true this is

[11:55]between him and allah subhanaw taala i'm not responsible as far as

[11:59]halal and haram some people want to become more philosophical you know

[12:04]I know I know it's hollow but I just want to do

[12:10]precaution and not eat unless I am 100% I am sure do

[12:17]you know when you will be 100% if you go on yourself

[12:19]and buy it from the farm and you kill it with your

[12:24]own hand otherwise if you buy it from any other person there

[12:26]is such possibility that they might be lying to you there could

[12:31]be mistake mistakes happen all the time can I prevent mistakes I

[12:36]can't so if I want to make sure that I eat something

[12:43]halal 100% which is something good okay and recommended then the only

[12:49]choice is I go myself to the farm buy it and kill

[12:54]it but how many people can do that how many people know

[12:57]how to go to the farm I don't know how to go

[13:00]to the farm how many people have the time to go to

[13:02]the farm I don't have the time how many people know how

[13:06]to do the slaughter I don't know how to do the slaughter

[13:12]do you so you need a slaughtering an animal is not an

[13:14]easy job you have to make sure that there are four veins

[13:19]that have to be cut so this is a complicated situation not

[13:24]anybody can do it so if you want to make sure what

[13:32]you eat is 100% halal then go buy it yourself if you

[13:36]wanna make sure Allah will not hold you accountable that's how concern

[13:43]you are then if he is Muslim he is selling the meat

[13:46]then you just move on and buy it from her this is

[14:02]regarding regarding what regarding lamb beef and chicken now this applies to

[14:12]those three yes if you have doubt on what you're not you're

[14:20]still allowed used his Muslim and he says it says halal hallows

[14:27]even if he is Sunni even if he is Sunni you still

[14:33]can buy two from him and and don't worry about anything yes

[14:39]the fine yes if he tells you this is the Holland you

[14:44]can buy it from the hell are you can buy from the

[14:47]halal section and don't worry don't worry about it as long as

[14:50]he's Muslim he's telling you Tala well that's a different issue this

[14:59]is neji's Empire let's not mix halal meaning which means permissible to

[15:06]eat with nudges it could be halal but if you use the

[15:09]same frying part then it becomes neji's it becomes not just because

[15:17]you are using the same let's say oil for halal meat and

[15:20]non-halal me that's a different thing we're talking about the permissibility of

[15:25]eating you don't give it to him to cook it for you

[15:30]just buy it you take it home you cook it ok so

[15:31]that's a different issue you're talking about if I see him using

[15:37]the halal meat in a fryer that is mix between halal meat

[15:40]and haram me then it becomes nudges that's a different it becomes

[15:45]Haram not because it's a harem meat it is because it becomes

[15:49]harem because it's neji's there are two issues now this is regarding

[15:54]lamb beef chicken now regarding images and power so I go to

[16:05]the restaurant any restaurant here in the United States I'm not talking

[16:13]about meat I'm not talking about meat put me aside now he

[16:18]offers me anything beside me vegetarian meals pizza or anything else cake

[16:25]how about the purity of the food if he's a non-muslim can

[16:32]I consider the food I am eating I'm not talking about meat

[16:39]now I'm not about not talking about those three anything beside the

[16:43]meat can I consider the food he is offering me say cake

[16:49]say virtue the vegetable meal say eggs anything I want to eat

[17:00]it do I consider the star head or nudges what do I

[17:08]do okay so listen to this according to say it Sistani the

[17:11]people of the book meaning the Christians and Jews are considered fire

[17:17]five so if the cook is a Christian or Jews he is

[17:24]as dire as Muslim okay now we do have some other scholars

[17:28]like Seidel Hui who believes that people of the book are nudges

[17:35]but say it Ali sustaining sayyidna muhammad rasulallah' Sheikh Nasser mcaren we

[17:41]have several Marja today who believe that the people of the book

[17:46]are power unless unless their hand is not just not because they

[17:50]are people of the book so his hand had urine for example

[17:55]or blood in it so it's not just not because he is

[17:56]a people of work but because of another new jeiza no we're

[18:01]assuming his hand is a clean is he nudges no they're for

[18:08]the food he gives me I can consider Taher let's go one

[18:12]step further what if the cook is a non al-kitab he is

[18:18]a Buddhist or he's a Hindu or he's a Baha'i so what

[18:27]about this food he's offering me okay there is a golden rule

[18:30]in Islam the reason I say golden rule because it makes it

[18:37]a lot easier for Muslims what is it it says Kulu Kalusha

[18:51]in lockup are here Hatta tallinn everything everything is pahar until you

[19:10]know otherwise so I have this coffee it could be neji's it

[19:23]could be power right how do I know so this Golding ruling

[19:29]says it's a style unless you know you see there is a

[19:36]blood in it or urine in it anything that you doubt now

[19:38]if this guy the Buddhist who offered me the food again I'm

[19:44]not talking about those three remember any food other than those three

[19:49]he gave me this food I can't consider it buyer how do

[19:52]I know he touched it how do I know he touched it

[19:56]with his wet hand remember what makes it nudges is not touching

[20:03]it touching it with the wet hand where it is there is

[20:06]a transmission of moisture from and to from the non-muslim to the

[20:10]food or from the food to the non-muslim transition transmission of moisture

[20:19]I don't know if he when he was preparing he really touched

[20:22]it with his wet hand maybe he was wearing gloves how do

[20:28]I know since I don't know I have not seen him with

[20:30]my eyes I consider that to be fire I applied this golden

[20:36]rule now is there a possibility that he touched it yeah there

[20:42]is there's 80% he touched the food with his wet hand but

[20:46]remember what this says read what it says everything aspire until you

[20:54]know you know do I know No yeah there's 70% chance but

[21:02]70% chance is not as what you don't know you still do

[21:05]not know you're not certain when you become certain 100% then you

[21:10]know it's nyjah's before 100% you apply this rule it's still power

[21:21]ok now spirit Buddhist or Christian it doesn't matter as long as

[21:26]I did not see it now do I have to go inside

[21:32]the kitchen and inspect no you don't have to see it's not

[21:35]as trying to make it easier on you sit in your place

[21:40]don't go and inspect in the kitchen now do I need to

[21:42]ask the cook mr.

[21:45]cook mr.

[21:45]Buddhist Did you touch this food with your hand no I don't

[21:50]have to you don't have to investigate this investigation process is not

[21:57]mandatory it's not necessary Allah tells me don't worry about it eat

[22:01]unless you see it I'm just going inside the kitchen to wash

[22:06]my hand for example or in my way to the bathroom I

[22:08]noticed that is wet and was touching the food now it's a

[22:13]different story as long as I have not seen I don't know

[22:19]I still consider the food offered to me by a non-muslim be

[22:23]it Christian Jew or Buddhist or Hindu or any any religion halal

[22:30]Halland buyer I'm sorry buyer pure therefore I can eat it but

[22:39]when a non-muslim offers me food with lamb or beef or chicken

[22:50]can I eat it exactly no not unless he tells me to

[22:54]Allah unless I know it is challah so for example he buys

[23:00]it from the grocery I buy from ok a Muslim I know

[23:06]he's not lying I know 104 most of Chinese food places of

[23:13]all faiths Levi from beside me okay if you trust him if

[23:16]you trust him it's a matter of trust if you trust him

[23:21]that he bought it from sad hollows sad is challah why is

[23:23]halal because he's Muslim right so you don't worry about it but

[23:30]if you don't know if you don't know you go to his

[23:33]house you don't know maybe he bought it from Kroger maybe from

[23:37]somewhere else then you cannot eat this meat you cannot eat his

[23:42]lamb or his beef or his chicken unless you trust them let

[23:50]me give you an example you take the flight to London and

[23:54]then they bring you your meal now nowaday you can ask for

[24:04]a Muslim meal halal me now if you're certain that this meal

[24:08]was purchased from a Muslim or it was a slaughtered and eat

[24:15]a few certain but if you're not certain even if they tell

[24:18]you it's halal meat because I tell you what one time I

[24:22]was in loved hanza and they told me Tala I said Helen

[24:26]she says yeah it's not pork to some non-muslims when they say

[24:33]halal they mean it's not pork so then it's not challah it's

[24:37]not challah no I need to make sure I'm certain so let's

[24:40]say I asked the flight attendant what did you give this meter

[24:47]from she says I we got it the catering from sad for

[24:49]example we're just using sad we're not advertising for anybody so then

[24:54]Alice I can eat but if you do not know you're not

[25:00]certain you cannot eat the meat offer to you by a non-muslim

[25:06]unless you know the origin and you trust them okay so this

[25:09]is as far as those are three type of food now let's

[25:15]go to the fourth type of food as well as the vegetarian

[25:18]right so you can eat widget from non-muslim and you don't need

[25:25]to ask because there is nothing to ask about if it's a

[25:28]vegetarian right so if he offers you any vegetarian mean you don't

[25:31]worry about it you just eat it but if a non-muslim offers

[25:35]you or you go to a non-muslim restaurant and he offers you

[25:40]any of those three you can't unless you are 100% sure so

[25:46]for example there is a place called Restaurant Depot can i buy

[25:53]from them they say they halat's al-hilal so Restaurant depot is not

[26:02]a Muslim country not a Muslim cellar white nor it is a

[26:05]Muslim country remember if you were in a Muslim country you don't

[26:10]need to ask you just go and buy any company you are

[26:12]your assume we're assuming they are Muslims so Hallel Depot is a

[26:18]not Muslim is not coming from a Muslim country so that takes

[26:22]that you know provision of Muslim market the owner of restaurant Depot

[26:32]is not Muslim this takes away the second provision which is the

[26:39]Muslim seller now what is left with restaurant Depot there is one

[26:44]thing left only if you're certain if you're certain 100% I know

[27:00]for example I know the owner of Home Depot I know and

[27:05]not some deeper restaurant Depot I know him I know him personally

[27:07]and I know he's not lying and he tells me we kill

[27:13]and according to the Islamic code I'm certain now if I'm certain

[27:18]I go ahead but if I'm not certain I cannot take we

[27:27]meet bought for me from Restaurant Depot now remember if I go

[27:33]to someone Muslims house and they bring me food do I need

[27:39]to do I need to ask him what did he buy it

[27:43]from know he's Muslim but if it just happened if it just

[27:48]happened that he told me that this is I brought this from

[27:54]restaurant Depot kinda still can I still eat it no unless I'm

[27:59]certain unless I'm certain if I'm not certain one when I say

[28:03]certain meaning what 100% if I'm not certain I cannot I no

[28:10]longer can eat it now but do I have to ask every

[28:15]time to go I go to a Muslim house no do I

[28:18]have to ask every time I go to a non-muslim house yes

[28:19]when it comes to meat I need to make sure so this

[28:25]is the difference when the seller is Muslim or he is not

[28:27]Muslim if he is Muslim I have been spared the question I

[28:33]don't have to go and ask I have been spared the investigation

[28:36]even if he turned to be lying Allah will hold him accountable

[28:43]but if I go to a non-muslim I'd need to be certain

[28:46]that this meat is halal so can I say okay if he

[28:53]is lying Allah will hold him responsible Allah will hold him responsible

[28:57]and whole will hold me responsible as well if the seller is

[29:00]non-muslim that's the difference okay now yeah you had the coach yes

[29:14]so that means he bought it - from sod if he bought

[29:17]it from said that means the producer Assad not restaurant you see

[29:21]always look at the producer always look at the producer that's why

[29:28]if I go let's say now to my Muslim supermarket I know

[29:31]him is Muslim right but I see him selling the meat from

[29:37]a Kroger can i buy it by saying he's Muslim no because

[29:43]I know the origin the origin is a Kroger I can't vice

[29:46]versa if the person selling is not Muslim but I see 100%

[29:53]it came from a Muslim origin side I can eat it no

[29:56]problem you see my point okay now let's go to the fourth

[30:05]type of meat and that is fish what about fish in the

[30:13]West am I allowed to eat fish in the West well there

[30:18]are two criterias one is scale on the skin so if the

[30:29]if the fish has no scale on the skin I cannot eat

[30:37]it like for example what catfish catfish has no scale on the

[30:42]skin so I cannot eat catfish whether the fisherman is Muslim or

[30:48]non-muslim whether I am in Najaf or in the US doesn't matter

[30:55]catfish is out of the question I can't eat it so that's

[31:03]one condition the other condition is taking life from the water so

[31:15]it should not die in the water if it dies in the

[31:21]water I can't I mean it has to be taken alive from

[31:27]water or or if it died in the water it has to

[31:32]be in the net after catching it so the fisherman threw his

[31:36]net and why I am gathering the fish one of them died

[31:42]and the net that's fine after catching it but if he catches

[31:45]the fish and it is dead in the water it is Haram

[31:51]I cannot so he has to take it out alive or at

[31:58]least it dies in the net okay exactly now if someone throws

[32:03]dynamite then this the fish dies in the water that fish is

[32:12]not allowed now this is the rule ruling regarding the fish now

[32:21]what about me here in this country okay so I go to

[32:25]the supermarket I look at the meat I of the fish and

[32:32]it has scale by the way there is an index and the

[32:41]end of the book showing the the in page 260 appendix list

[32:46]of a scale fish in page 260 it shows to you the

[32:52]scientific name the regular name and whatever so salmon salmon or trout

[33:07]they have different names anyway if you want to know the fishes

[33:12]the fish with scale on the skin you go to this index

[33:15]and page 260 so the first thing is I go and I

[33:20]make sure that there is a scale or I asked I asked

[33:27]for example if you go to Burger King Burger King okay and

[33:30]you ask them about the fish it is card not cats not

[33:38]catfish card with with the C ad card fish not catfish card

[33:41]fish is hala has a scale on it so you can eat

[33:47]the fish offered by Burger King okay now the second issue so

[33:55]this one has been verified ok what about the second one I

[33:58]go to the supermarket I don't know if they took it alive

[34:04]or it was dead so the second one was not it was

[34:10]not verified so how do I do that do I have to

[34:14]go to the ocean every time and watch them catching the fish

[34:17]alive no you don't have to as long as you are aware

[34:23]of the common method with which they catch the fish see him

[34:26]in the United States of America in the West in general they

[34:29]don't use dynamite dynamite is illegal as illegal so that means that

[34:39]I am almost certain that the fish that I am eating or

[34:44]buying who died outside the water almost certain here how I'm certain

[34:51]by applying the common method with which fisheries catch the fish with

[34:57]and the in the West in general in most countries actually that

[35:04]is not legal dynamite is not legal so that means I can

[35:07]go and buy the V fish and it's ok I have no

[35:13]problem here in the West and this fisherman doesn't have to be

[35:18]Muslim the seller of the fish doesn't have to be Muslim I

[35:20]can buy two from a Chinese guy a Portuguese guy it doesn't

[35:26]have to I don't care about the identity of the seller and

[35:29]like meats with meat I had an issue with the identity of

[35:32]the seller with fish I don't worry now there is a fourth

[35:41]type or fifth type of meat and that is seafood how about

[35:53]lobster shrimp clam crap crap with B naught with P and what

[36:05]else octopod huh exactly moisture oyster all those you know weird things

[36:17]that they sell a frog frog I have been to Hong Kong

[36:23]one time and a friend of us took us to the market

[36:30]so we saw frog frog frogs being sold turtles were being sold

[36:35]and they eat them they Eve them our our one of the

[36:42]delicacies of our president our current president is to eat frog legs

[36:48]so and they say it's very expensive anyway so what about those

[36:53]and Shia Islam in the Shia Islam of the seafood we just

[37:02]have this fish with a scale on the skin that is okay

[37:05]and what else shrimp only so shrimp is challah now some people

[37:19]again want to be philosophical say it shrimp is Helen but why

[37:28]not lobster lobster is the mother of the shrimp well so what

[37:32]you marry a woman you cannot marry her mother right so you

[37:38]can eat but you cannot eat the mother so shrimp is halal

[37:45]because the hadith says so lobster is not halal because the hadith

[37:49]says so I don't care if it's biologically the same family or

[37:53]it's not the same family I go by the divine law Allah

[37:58]tells me something I just stick to it he told me shrimp

[38:04]and fish is challah with a scale as halal I say yes

[38:06]sir he told me anything else is not halal I tell I

[38:12]say yes sir that's it as simple as that I have to

[38:16]I have to make this point that few Scottie are scholars very

[38:20]few very few one of them say it for Lala they believe

[38:30]all seafood is hella so but this is not a mainstream stand

[38:34]the 99% of our scholars say it Sistani say it Hui a

[38:42]dharmaraja they believe that only of the seafood only fish with a

[38:46]scale on the skin and with shrimp it doesn't matter whether it's

[38:54]a jumbo shrimp or regular asurim as long as it is a

[38:58]shrimp but the minute it becomes lobster it becomes Hara you can't

[39:02]so don't look at the size of the shrimp as long as

[39:06]it is a shrimp but if it becomes lobster it's a different

[39:09]story so only few scholars they believe that all type of seafood

[39:17]is hellah now why other scholars believe that only those two is

[39:24]hala any idea so there are scientific research now prove that most

[39:36]those creatures that we mentioned their job their role in the ocean

[39:42]ecology is to clean the the ocean scavengers so when you eat

[39:51]them first of all they are not healthy because their food what

[39:55]they eat what they feed off is not healthy number two you've

[40:02]denying the ocean of wrong things that keep it clean so by

[40:06]you eating those you know this type of seafood you are basically

[40:18]mmm you are you are touching the balance in the the equilibrium

[40:25]of the ocean so aslam says stay away eat healthy and do

[40:30]not cause distress to nature to the ocean let the marine life

[40:39]goes on without you being so selfish wanting to eat everything there

[40:44]and damaging this you know balance in the in the ocean so

[40:48]this is what the vast majority of Shia scholars say now Sunni

[40:56]scholars say as far as I know they say you can eat

[41:02]all type of seafood but to the Shia scholars ninety-nine percent of

[41:06]them they say only fish with a scale on the skin and

[41:09]shrimp now let's move to another [Music] okay also I need I'm

[41:34]sorry yes you go to a book called Elvis I'll babble at

[41:44]Ponemah well ash Reba Kyra Darby Yuri Darby babble oh ma well

[41:47]as Sharada there are more than one hadith there are 13 14

[41:53]hadith about this topic you can find them there in was a

[41:55]Shia book called was Alicia yes okay now also I need to

[42:12]add one more point that when it comes to halal means when

[42:17]it becomes haleh's when it becomes halal in other word in order

[42:25]to make the lamb hell are the chicken by slaughtering but how

[42:29]for not not only slaughtering there are five conditions there are five

[42:36]conditions for the meat be it beef lamb or chicken to be

[42:42]challah listen to those five conditions according to Shia Islam number one

[42:49]the slaughter had the the butcher has to be has to be

[42:53]what Muslim so if the butcher was non Muslim I'm sorry I

[43:01]can't number two the butcher has to mention the name of God

[43:07]while slaughtering bismillah Allahu Akbar the name of God has to be

[43:14]mentioned number three there are four veins they have to be cut

[43:22]allow Dajjal Alba for veins and not an expert there are four

[43:26]rings those four veins butchers are experts in fighting them they have

[43:31]to cut for those four veins meaning if they cut three and

[43:37]they did not cut the fourth one is it halal know all

[43:39]the four veins has to be with the Lorain of course jag

[43:45]Lorraine is the main one and the other three so that's how

[43:48]many conditions so far number four has to face public Abba in

[43:56]the Shia Islam our Sunni brothers do not do that in the

[44:00]Shia Islam in the Shia Islam you have to face the public

[44:06]okay via the animals the belly of the animal has to be

[44:10]to the table number four the normal number five the normal amount

[44:20]of a blood has to come out of the body of the

[44:28]of the meat of the animal meaning we let the blood go

[44:31]we don't have to make sure that all the blood because that's

[44:37]almost impossible there will be some a blood remaining in the body

[44:41]of this but the motor are of the common the normal amount

[44:45]of my off let's say let's say the animal contains 100 liters

[44:52]of a blood we need to have 90 liters go out so

[44:58]of the ten remaining remains in the body that usually does not

[45:01]come out why of the blood of the animal as a bleeding

[45:06]it is okay as long as the 90 letters come out so

[45:08]if I kill the animal and I don't allow it to bleed

[45:14]is it halal no now this is what I wanted to say

[45:21]experts say that the animal that has bled after bleeding after the

[45:27]slaughter is more healthier than the animal that contains the blood experts

[45:34]say and this shows that when Islam asked for halal meat it

[45:39]wasn't Islam trying to boss us around rather Aslam want us to

[45:46]eat something you know healthy so when the blood comes out and

[45:50]the animal bleeds then the meat is healthier than when I keep

[45:57]the blood inside the the animal so this is as far as

[46:00]the animal so those are five conditions for the animal to be

[46:07]now if I go to suni brother and he lacks one of

[46:10]them okay so do I still buy his mate yes if he

[46:18]is sunny why because to him to him to him this is

[46:21]halal and I am told that you can buy from Muslims as

[46:27]a Muslim or no he's Muslim Alice so to him this is

[46:35]halal but remember sam-soon means buy from Kroger not Alton is Sampson

[46:40]is and they say bismillah and he gives it to you does

[46:43]that make it halat no that's why Sunnis have two terms a

[46:51]few of you notice halal and what Sabiha when the animal is

[46:57]slaughtered according to as to they call it severe if they just

[47:01]read the name of Allah on it they call it hala so

[47:07]if you buy from a Sunni tell him I need Sabiha that's

[47:11]the word halal for us but if you just tell him Haleh

[47:15]I need halal meat without specifying Sabiha he may think you want

[47:19]Kroger you're not working from Gorger you could go to Kroger why

[47:25]do you go to this guy it's even cheaper right and Kroger

[47:28]tell him I don't eat the Crockers because in our thought and

[47:35]our jurisprudence even if you say bismillah I'm going to be halal

[47:39]Haram it's me too already it's not going to change it even

[47:45]if I say bismillah five days later yes when people go hunting

[47:50]and you shoot it was annoying we'll talk about hunting that's a

[47:54]different subject so let's say now we'll talk about I'm thinking shala

[47:59]yes not anyone not anyone only the table only the table because

[48:17]to them table is not mandatory but to the Sunnis bismillah has

[48:21]mandatory service Sunni doesn't say bismillah on it it's not Sabiha even

[48:26]time it's not severe you see ok now another subject and we

[48:39]shall conclude and this is one of the most most difficult topics

[48:46]that we always face what is that gelatin as gelatin halal or

[48:55]not halal because now gelatin is used in every single project you

[49:08]use at the kitchen I don't know of the of the spelling

[49:10]if it's wrong let me know is that correct so gelatin is

[49:15]gelatin halal or Haram exactly so we have animal gelatin we have

[49:27]animal and we have veggie veggie is v EG i right GG

[49:41]i or why okay okay so if it's veggie you have no

[49:55]Sh you eat and satay you have no issue what about if

[49:58]it's from the animal again if it's from animal and it says

[50:08]on it's made and say Turkey for example Turkey the country not

[50:14]the animal made in Turkey it is halal it says made in

[50:22]Iran challah made in Morocco halal made in Egypt halal made in

[50:26]Indonesia halal if it's made in a Muslim country what if it's

[50:32]animal and made in the US or any non-muslim country this is

[50:41]the question this is the question now a buzz did you say

[50:45]Haram someone said hella no no don't give fatwa please okay listen

[50:51]to this listen what say it see standing was asked he said

[51:01]this is halal this is halal another one unknown unknown meaning we

[51:10]don't know what it was made this is also what Halla this

[51:14]one is if I don't know I don't know if it's animal

[51:17]veggie Pakistan China I don't know I just saw gelatin it's okay

[51:24]you can eat it the problem occurs when so we have four

[51:29]categories now veggie made in Turkey and known these are all what

[51:38]challah there is one that we have a problem with which one

[51:46]the gelatin made of animal and it is made in a non-muslim

[51:52]country now that's the the question how about this one what do

[51:57]we do with this one is it halal to consume or it's

[52:05]not allowed to consume there is something called chemical process is that

[52:15]correct or C ESS huh sorry my spelling is not good chemical

[52:23]process chemical process was the chemical process see this the gelatin goes

[52:30]through a chemical processing because they don't give it to you you

[52:36]do not consume it as it was just like the way it

[52:40]was in the animal so before consuming it it went through a

[52:43]chemical changing to be honest with you this knowing this has nothing

[52:54]to do with say it sustained or the merger let me give

[52:58]you an example so look at this Cup this Cup has liquid

[53:05]in it if the liquid is water is it halal or Haram

[53:11]according to Sistani if the liquid inside this is why is it

[53:16]halal according to Sistani or Haram how so it's clear right if

[53:24]it's if the liquid inside is water drink it Halla if the

[53:28]liquid inside is wine it's Haram right now what is the liquid

[53:36]now that's this tan you know does he stand you know no

[53:39]can i SAT standing what is the record she doesn't know this

[53:44]is not his job to tell you what's the type of the

[53:49]liquid inside even if he sees it do I don't know if

[53:51]it's wine you cannot drink it if it's water you cannot drink

[53:56]it it fits coffee you cannot drink it but whether this is

[53:59]coffee or wine say it's it's Danny that's not since it's a

[54:03]nice business right Stanny gives you the general ruling but would he

[54:10]tell you this particular one is coffee or water or alcohol no

[54:18]that's not his job keep that in mind now okay now in

[54:22]the key melaka in the chemical process if the gelatin changes into

[54:28]something new then it's halal because it was something now it became

[54:36]something else let me give you another example wine turning into vinegar

[54:42]when it was wine it was what Haram manages when it turned

[54:47]into vinegar the same liquid turned into vinegar it became halal and

[54:52]it became fire right okay why it became halal because it became

[54:59]something different completely when it was wine it was Haram now it's

[55:08]vinegar is not Haram even though it is the same liquid changed

[55:10]it went through chemical change right if the gelatin goes through when

[55:20]it goes through the chemical process it changes the nature to something

[55:27]else it becomes hell on now the question does it change during

[55:30]the chemical process or it does not that's not say it's it's

[55:37]a nice job that's whose job chemists chemists do we say chemists

[55:40]that's the chemists job pharmacists probably he will tell you of the

[55:48]gelatin changes through the chemical process or it not what's its aesthetic

[55:53]can tell you he can tell you this if it changes it

[55:56]becomes halal if it does not change it's not challah whether it

[56:02]changes or not that's Beyonce insistence and I need scholars expertise we

[56:06]have to go to the experts in the field which is the

[56:09]chemist yes yes in order to if you want to eat it

[56:16]if you don't want to eat it you don't have to but

[56:20]I wanna beat it so badly okay go on as the chemist

[56:24]if he tells you a changes this this one we're talking about

[56:27]USA this one then you have to ask him if he tells

[56:31]you it changes you can eat but if he says no it

[56:35]does not change the nature the ingredient the substance is the same

[56:38]then you can't that's true however there is one more thing there

[56:51]is one more twist exactly with medicine so if I don't eat

[57:01]cake made of gelatin will I die who don't eat don't eat

[57:04]gelatin then what's the big deal but if I don't eat the

[57:11]medicine that has gelatin will I die or no if the question

[57:13]yes then I can eat it even if it has gelatin remember

[57:18]what we said the other day if I'm going to die if

[57:23]I don't drink wine because it's the only liquid I have a

[57:27]sense it's okay save your life with with that with with medicine

[57:31]there's a different paradigm there is life-saving issue if I need to

[57:39]save my life and this is the only medicine that saves my

[57:42]life and it has gelatin eat it don't worry unless it has

[57:48]an alternative the doctor says there is another alternative then I have

[57:52]to take the alternative but if it's the only medicine in the

[57:56]market and I have to take it by my doctor to save

[58:00]my life and I don't worry about gelatin so for example there

[58:04]is tylenol okay or Advil they have two types the solid pills

[58:09]and the gel the gelatin the gelatin one that's made with the

[58:18]capsule the the gelatin capsule so take the solid one don't take

[58:22]the the the gelatin one yes then that's a life-saving issue yes

[58:34]when it comes to saving your life it's okay yes sister that's

[58:40]fine even if it's taken from the pork and many cases it's

[58:48]taken from the pork this is a life saving issue any times

[58:53]life-saving issue is involved the colors Aslam doesn't say no because anytime

[58:58]your life is in jeopardy Islam says you life precedes saving your

[59:03]life proceed any other ruling unless there is another alternative halal alternative

[59:10]then I have to take the halal alternative but if that's the

[59:17]only way for me to be treated then at Allah can you

[59:26]repeat the question please okay okay yes no now you're not committing

[59:43]suicide but you definitely committed a sin by not saving your life

[59:47]now we can't say he committed suicide but we can say definitely

[59:51]can say that this guy committed a sin by not taking this

[59:54]medication because as Lomb allows you to take if your motivation by

[60:00]not eating it is you don't want to do Harod it's not

[60:02]harm for you because listen halal and Haram are relative if something

[60:09]could be halal for him and her are for up for me

[60:10]and vice versa based on my medical situation for example when it's

[60:16]time for Salah I have to do will do right but if

[60:19]I'm sick what do I do I do tell your mom if

[60:23]I'm not sick am I allowed to take care mom no but

[60:27]if I'm sick so with this situation this guy this guy's obligation

[60:30]is to take the medication it is like someone fasting you know

[60:35]some people they are sick he's sick and yet he is fasting

[60:39]I told her I told how do you fast yeah my heart

[60:43]does not allow me what do you mean Mira you're not allowed

[60:46]to fast if you're sick if you're sick and fasting worsens your

[60:53]situation in fact you're not only not getting hasana you are getting

[60:58]sin you're committing a sin when you fast your job is to

[61:02]break your fast now and then make it up later on so

[61:05]when someone's obligation is to take it to save his life that

[61:12]his obligation he can't say I am NOT going to take it

[61:14]because it's Haram it's not Haram it's Haram for someone who doesn't

[61:16]have this option but for someone who is in this situation and

[61:23]that's the only alternative he has halal quorum by not taking it

[61:26]he will be committing a sin thank you so much my dear

[61:31]brothers and sisters we have not finished we have not finished we

[61:33]had a few other issues I will leave them for the next

[61:40]week but please be prepared by reading reading the next chapter which

[61:46]is 113 through 119 113 - six pages read them so next

[61:55]week we are going to finish those issues remaining issues from the

[62:00]eating and drinking and then going to dress and clothing part 10

[62:05]yes
