Alright I was curious about this so I looked some mosques in my state and called a few, and described Amy. Here's what i learned:
- Fast food is generally not considered hahal, although it's not too much of a big deal if it's an occasional meal. They said to stick to the non meat foods and order chicken if you really must. I asked about KFC specifically and the response was "Well that's just poor taste". They said it would be considered halal to eat the impossible/beyond meat.
- On the fast food note, i called a few places out of curiosity and pretty much anything dairy is halal. Milkshakes, cheese pizza, ice cream, fries, all fine. Some places with names withheld told me not to order the burgers if I want halal.
The information they gave you is a lil’ misleading.
Halal meat is meat from an animal that has been slaughtered in a certain way according to the Islamic tradition. (Basically, it just means it’s not stunned, had it’s throat slit and a prayer said over it but it’s done in accordance with the
Quan)
I can’t speak for the US, but in the UK there is a governing body called the HMC (Halal monitoring committee) and they approve and confirm slaughter houses/butchers etc to sell halal meat that has been slaughtered in that particular way to fast food joints/shops/independent consumers etc
Many fast food outlets in the UK are HMC approved throughout all their outlets (subway,Nando’s) and only buy halal meat so they can sell to people of all faiths, but others such as MacDonalds do not sell halal meat so a Muslim would be advised to stick to things such as fillet o fish/salad/fries etc... not eat it occasionally.
There are also a lot of sweets/candy and desserts that are not considered halal because they contain gelatine which is a pig product, but in this day and age there are now tons of halal versions of these treats (halal Haribo, halal jelly beans etc...) but they are clearly labelled as the halal version.
As
@krazy orange cat pointed out a couple pages back, it took a cursory search to see which KFCs in the US sell halal chicken on their menu and there are no KFCs that serve halal meat in the Oregon area. The only remotely Islamic thing Amy does is wear a hijab, and that’s just to hide her chins. She gives no fucks about the religion, she just claimed it to keep a man.
