QUESTION:

We have a Christian here, who ALHAMDULILLAH has converted to Islam.
She is still living with her parents, and so what are the rules about
eating?  Her parents do handle alcohol regularly, and pork, though very
occasionally.

Is she allowed to eat at food at home in this case?


ANSWER:

Salamun alaikum,

Yes, she is allowed to eat food at home with her parents, but SHE herself
will refrain from alcohol, pork, and also utensils etc. in which these
items are served or mixed.
