QUESTION:

I have question that are we Muslim are allowed to eat at Hindu's restaurant,
and also allowed to by groceries from them not including meat.


ANSWER:

MUSLIMS  ARE NOT ALLOWED TO EAT AT HINDUS RESTAURANTS UNTIL AND UNLESS YOU
ARE ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN THAT THE STAFF INVOLVED IN THE CLEANING AND COOKING
ARE MUSLIMS AND THAT THE HINDU OWNERS HAVE NO PART IN THAT.

AS FOR GROCERIES, PACKED FOOD AND THOSE THAT CAN BE WASHED BEFORE COOKING
LIKE VEGETABLES IS ALRIGHT. THE ONLY FOOD YOU CANNOT BUY IS THE COOKED FOOD.


WASSALAAM,

MUSTAFA JAFFER
