The Arabic term “Halal” translates to “lawful” or “permissible” in English. The opposite of Halal is “Haram” which translates to “unlawful” or “impermissible”. These terms are used in a variety of cases mentioned in the Qur’an including for food consumption, lawful relationships, earnings, charity and generally how one can lead a “Lawful” life. In terms of food consumption, the word Halal is also associated with the term ‘Tayyib’ which means ‘wholesome’ or ‘something that is good for you’.
