Halal vs Haram in Meat
- Haram (forbidden): Dead animals, blood, pork, animals not slaughtered in the name of Allah
- Halal method: The animal must be slaughtered by a Muslim, in the name of Allah, with the head facing Mecca, by severing carotid arteries and jugular veins in one swift stroke without prior stunning
Comparison with Jewish Prohibition
Jews are also forbidden from eating pork — as a safeguard against Tapeworm infection (Taenia solium). Both religions prohibit pork, but for different stated reasons.
