Sanha; is it under the guidance and support of Ulama?
Question
ASAK,
Is SANHA, South African National Halaal Authority, a reputable and reliable organization? Do they have Ulema guidance and support? Are they affiliated with any of the South African Muftis/Ulema from your Darul Iftaa or any other Darul Iftaa?
Any advice will be appreciated!
JZK!
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
It has been stated in the Sanha website that “The JU is a founder member of SANHA and has ceded the activity of Halaal certification and monitoring to SANHA since inception.”
The Jamiat ul Ulama board consists of Ulama/ Muftis.
You may refer to the Sanha website for details.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
