The Basic Principle Regarding All Foods is Permissibility

Question :

Uncertainty has risen regarding some foods, such as Dutch cooking fat and other imported foods. Does this uncertainty regarding the prohibition of these foods mean that it is better for the one who is uncertain not to eat them?

Answer:

The basic principle is permissibility of eating and drinking those things mentioned. Unless something which would necessitate its prohibition is confirmed. Such as the cooking fat and the like being mixed with pork fat or fat from an animal which died without being slaughtered, or from birds or grazing animals slaughtered in a manner other than Islamic way, such as by electric shock, strangling or some other way. And Allah is the Granter of success.

May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet, Muhammad and upon his family and Companions.
