Halal Certificate: After Uttar Pradesh, ban on Halal certificate imposed in Karnataka, there is a demand to ban it across the country.

 After Uttar Pradesh, Halal certificate has also been banned in Karnataka, along with this it has also been demanded that Halal certificate should be made by food and non-food agencies in the entire country. It started with an FIR in UP. This issue is now becoming a matter of controversy in the entire country.

 Why did such a situation arise?

 Yogi government took the decision just 2 days after the FIR was registered that Halal certificates should be banned. When non-meat started being given Halal certificate. It is about 17th November when an FIR was registered against it in Lucknow that giving Halal certificate to non-meat products like oil, honey, ghee, soap and other things was wrong. The complainant said that it was wrong to sell the product among religion-specific people. It was also alleged that fake or fake documents are used in giving Halal certificate.

 What is Halal?

 Halal is an Arabic word which means legal, valid and legitimate, and from Islamic point of view, it means haram in the Quran. Opposite of illegitimate. This means that whatever has the seal of Halal will be Islamically legitimate. Perhaps it was for this reason that Halal certificates were given to meat, but some time ago, Halal seal started being put on everything from medicines to beauty products, hence the opposition started.

 Who issues such a certificate?

 There is no legal or official authority in India that issues such certificates; apart from this, there are also food agencies which are providing marks on food products and other products. This agency claims that they have certificates giving Halal marks to these products, this affects Muslim buyers.
