Is it permissible for a Muslim to eat or drink in a Yazidi home?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The Yazidis are a sect that venerates Iblis (Satan). They have their own holy book and perform rituals that bear no relation to religion. Therefore, it is forbidden to eat their slaughtered animals. However, their food and drink, if free from unlawful ingredients, are permissible to consume. Nonetheless, it is advisable to shun them and not enter their homes to partake of their food and drink due to their deviation, unless the intention is to invite them to Islam and condemn their wrongdoing.
