Halal

Halal (/həˈlɑːl/;^[1] Arabic: حلال ḥalāl [ħæˈlæːl]) is an Arabic word that translates to 'permissible' in English. In the Quran, the term halal is contrasted with the term haram ('forbidden'). This binary opposition was elaborated into a more complex classification known as "the five decisions": mandatory, recommended, neutral, reprehensible and forbidden.^[2] Faqīh disagree on whether the term halal covers the first two or the first four of these categories.^[2] In recent times, islamic movements seeking to mobilize the masses and authors writing for a popular audience have emphasized the simpler distinction of halal and haram.^[3]^[4]

The term halal is particularly associated with islamic dietary laws and especially meat processed and prepared in accordance with those requirements.
