Fatwa #29669 June 2001United States of America

Is it permissable to eat in resturants? Can we eat food prepared by Non-Muslims? Can we eat onlyin veg only resturants?

Answer

Tayyibaat refers to that food which is pure (Halaal) beyond doubt.
Therefore, precaution should be exercised in determining which food is
Halaal beyond doubt. It is not sufficient to rely on the Halaal signs
advertised on windows of food outlets as many people use the sign only for
commercial purposes.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
