As the row over halal is taking place in the country and hashtags of boycotting some products are being widely circulated, singer Lucky Ali came forward to explain what halal exactly is.

O Sanam singer on Monday shared a post on Facebook to explain the meaning of halal. He wrote dearly beloved Indian brothers and sisters hope you are all well. I wanted to explain something to you. He further said that halal is definitely not for anybody outside of Islam. It’s just that any Muslim will not buy any product just like their Jewish relatives who understand Halal as being similar to Kosher and will not buy any product until and unless it’s certified that the ingredients within a product are according to his or her consumable limitations.

Adding to this, he said that halal is an Arabic term when translated to English, means permissible whereas Kosher is what Jews call food prepared as per the rules of the Jewish law.

He also added to it and said that in order to sell their products to everyone, including Muslims and Jews, the companies should label the items as halal- or kosher-certified, otherwise Muslims and Jews would just not buy from them.

Recently, Karnataka Home Minister Araga Jananendra said that the government has a limited role to play in the debate over halal since it is ultimately a matter for the people to decide. He also said that the Boycott Halal Food campaign is not law and order but faith and sentiments, which everyone knows.
