Title – Bread with Bacon
Question: Salamalekum I ordered Grilled Cheese sandwich at a local restaurant, I didn’t realize that they used Meat in it. However after realizing that there was bacon in the sandwich, I took out all of the meat & ate only the bread with cheese, Onions & tomatoes in it. I did not eat the meat, but I was wondering just because there was Bacon in the bread, though I took it out, was it still right for me to consume the same bread in which their was Bacon.. ?
Kindly please answer Masalama
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
In principle, it is not correct to eat a sandwich that contained bacon even if one removes the bacon. The remainder of the sandwich is still contaminated with oil and other haram particles from the bacon.
And Allah Ta‘ālā Knows Best.
