Is it permissible to eat food prepared according to Jewish kosher law in Canada, especially if it contains ingredients such as monoglycerides and diglycerides whose origin may not be known?
Allah Almighty forbade certain good things to the Jews as a punishment for them, whereas the Islamic is lenient, permitting all good things except impurities. The food called "kosher" among Jews is permissible for Muslims, unless wine is added to it, because it conforms to their dietary laws. Jewish dietary laws, "Kashrut," prohibit certain types of food, such as meat not slaughtered according to Jewish law, certain types of animals, bread prepared by non-Jews, wine touched by non-Jews, and the mixing of meat and milk. These laws contributed to the isolation of Jews, and many Jews in the West and Israel do not apply them, and there are conflicts over their application.
