Question

Kindly let me know is the chicken at the local restaurant like McDonalds halal, can we eat it with out any hesitation.


Answer

Alhamdu Lillah

Eating chicken (and not beef) from local stores and restaurants for Muslims in the US is permissible. However, it is better to avoid, especially from fast food restaurants. This is because most of these restaurants do not mind using the same grill and other utensils for bacon, beef, and chicken together.
