Q: I would like to know if it is permissible to buy from a non-Muslim owned butchery who claims that the supplier is certified as Halaal?
Answer by SANHA: Our ref: hl/128/03.10/m
In terms of the Shari’ah, all meat / meat products must be purchased through either Muslim outlets or through such Halaal outlets which are supervised and maintained by a bonafide, authorised Muslim organisation.
We therefore discourage Muslims from purchasing their meat/ meat products from such avenues irrespective of the name of the certifying body which may appear on the packaging.
