"Halal" meat

farida

and that over which (instead of mentioning the name of Allah, 6119,122, the name of) any other than Allah has been invoked (while slaughtering it, including those sacrificed for idol, 53, since by devouring such meat the spiritual side is affected, Acts 1529). But whoever is constrained (and eats of the forbidden food under compelling circumstances), without being disobedient (to His instructions) nor exceeding the limit (of dire necessity), no sin be upon him then. Allah is certainly most Forgiving (of the defaulters), most Rewarding (of the obedient).
Allah knows your innermost he knows that your intention so therefore birth day cake is not haram.

You are putting the explanations in the brackets, I may appear fanatical but if you do not put your own understanding in the brackets then a birthday cake comes under harm food,
He has only forbidden for you what is already dead, and the blood, and the meat of pig, and what was dedicated to other than God. Whoever finds himself forced out of need and without disobedience or animosity, then there is no sin upon him. God is Forgiving, Merciful

Salaam,

The birthday cake issue can be looked at in the following way-

• There is a difference between making something for a person and dedicating it in a religious sense. In reality if you do not make this distinction, you can't eat anything a person cooks for you.

• When eating, you always remember the name of Allah in gratitude.

The point here is if you suspect that the person who makes the cake somehow worships you and dedicates the cake to you in some religious sense (like for example food a hindu may make for their religious festivals dedicated to one of their idols), then it is haram. However if someone is just making a cake, or any food for a person or group of people, we have no basis to say it is haram.

Please let me know

salaam

I know exactly what you are saying birthday cakes have become such an integral part of parties that no one would like to think twice. I too can take a modern logical approach but religious or not that is not the issue, I am simply looking at the red highlighted part of 2173 which clearly forbids any food dedicated to other then Allah and unlike rest of the party foods birthday cakes are definitely dedicated to a person's birth especially with the name of person written on it, yes

Lols you sound like a sunni sheikh, but it is your intention that counts not your dees.

God evaluates peoples? deeds according to the intentions behind them. This meaning is referred to in the Qur?an when it talks about animals which are sacrificed during the rites of pilgrimage, where it says what means

(Al-Hajj 2237)

When you offer that food in the name of deity or saint then it become haram but the name on birthday cake is not written with same intention.

Now let me tell you something in Yemen sheikhs sends Mangos to Japan to encrypt their name on it and offering them to their guests and friend do you want to say that is haram if you write my name on a goat not considering me a god or something like that does it make that goat haram. nope

Agree but the intention behind a birthday cake, ordered at the bakers, is to order a cake dedicated to a person (a wedding cake is a different matter) and thus to celebrate other than God and falls under what was dedicated to other than God.

Two wrongs dont make a right and giving examples of mad sheikhs or Lebanese dancers does not in any way makes it permissible unless it's your nafs asking you to not look too much into its details or you may have to miss out on your cake; you love you cake and so want to eat it eat

{Forbidden to you (for food) are dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which has been invoked the name of other than Allah; that which has been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by being gored to death; that which hath been (partly) eaten by a wild animal; unless ye are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is sacrificed on stone (altars); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows that is impiety...} (Al-Ma'ida 53)

On your birth day cake your name is written I?m not invoking your name I?m not considering you a god but if Christian cut it saying Jesus crest or Hindu invoking their god?s name then it is haramjedi

Just to be on the safe side think again. hmm It does not say which has been invoked with the names of other GODS than God; it simply says name of other than Allah.

salaam,

Why the mockery of farida? He/she is not making totally unreasonable posts. He/she is making a point or asking a question based upon a specific bit or revelation. Instead, deal with it like you don't have some pet belief to lose.

To farida -

Define exactly what you understand by the portion from 2173, "dedicated to other than Allah".
If you order a pizza, they may have your name on the order, the pizza will be made just for you, as you want it. Would you eat it?

I want to know exactly what your understanding is before I discuss more.

To afridi220 -

Why don't you make an effort to categorise the ingredients in that list? Use logic and some research, you will be able to decide.

Salaam
