Question Summary: What to do with Haraam food items? Question Detail:
AsalaamuAlaikum,If I buy any kind of food, and realize it is haraam right after I buy it, will it be better to throw away that food or give it to a nonmuslim friend/coworker. Will I get the sin if i give that haraam food to a nonmuslim and he eats it.Jazakallah Khair
Answer :
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh. According to Shariah, it is not permissible to give any consumable items which contain Haraam (forbidden) elements to human beings, animals or any other creature.Rather, one will have to dispose of consumable items which contain Haraam elements. It is therefore sinful for one to give Haraam food items to non-muslims. However, if Haraam food is left in a certain place and someone picks the food up, then one will not be responsible for giving Haraam food.
