Vegetarianism

Muslims are permitted to eat meat, but only halal meat.

In fact it is part of their religious practice at times to eat meat (at the feast of Eid-ul-Adha animals are killed and the meat shared out).

Halal meat comes from animals that have been killed in a more human way ‘in the name of Allah the merciful, the compassionate’.

Qur’an, surah 16.114-5 ‘Eat the lawful and good food that Allah has provided for you. He has forbidden only carrion, blood and swine-flesh.’
