Question

Is Assuming Products Are Halal to Eat Okay?

In our daily lives, many of the products we consume don’t originate from our gardens or farms, leading to legitimate concerns about their sources and production methods. Shaykh Abdul-Rahim Reasat sheds light on the validity of these concerns and when they might escalate into an obsessive disorder.

Shaykh Abdul-Rahim Reasat embarked on his journey of learning Arabic Grammar and Morphology alongside pursuing a degree in English and History. Following his graduation, he journeyed to Damascus to delve deeper into Arabic studies, Hanafi Fiqh, Theology, and more under the guidance of esteemed scholars such as Shaykh Adnan Darwish and Shaykh ‘Abd al-Rahman Arjan al-Binsawi. He furthered his studies in Amman, covering a wide array of disciplines, including Tafsir, Hadith Methodology, and Tajwid, under the tutelage of notable teachers like Shaykh Ali Hani and Dr. Hamza al-Bakri.
