Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Eating which of the following animals is allowed according to Sunni Islam?

Answer: Rabbits

It is because, according to the teachings of Islam, you cannot eat animals which have claws or animals that are carnivores (unless they live in water).

2. Are Muslims allowed to eat taloned birds of prey?

Answer: No

It is also because birds of prey are carnivores who do not live in the sea.

3. In a Muslim's diet, which of the following can be eaten, but is frowned upon?

Answer: Horses

Cows, lamb, and chickens are only eaten if they are slaughtered in a specific way, as is every animal that is eaten in Islam. Horses are allowed to be eaten however are not liked. This is known as "makruh". The Prophet (PBUH) did not allow the eating of donkey.

4. What is food that is allowed in Islam called?

Answer: halal

Islam also forbids eating an animal which has partly been eaten by another animal.

5. Islam forbids which of the following meat to be eaten?

Answer: All of these

These are all animals about which Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) said that they were not to be eaten.

6. What is a common meat that Muslims are not allowed to eat?

Answer: Pork

Because fish comes from the sea, it doesn't have to be slaughtered. Turkey and pigeon have claws but they are not carnivores which makes them allowed to be eaten.

7. Which hand does a Muslim eat with?

Answer: right

It is because Satan eats with his left hand and also his left fingers. (In some parts of the world, it is traditional to use one's left hand to clean oneself after defecation, leaving one's right hand as the one appropriate for other social activities. Since Islam is a common religion in some of these places, the two reasons have become conflated in public opinion, but that is not the religious basis for it.)

8. Can Muslims eat hedgehogs or hawks?

Answer: No

Hawks are birds of prey which makes them forbidden and hedgehogs are also forbidden because the Prophet said that Allah commands us not to eat them.

9. What is Haram food?

Answer: Food that cannot be eaten by Muslims

Haram means forbidden in Arabic and it's not only food in Islam that can be Haram. Anything against the rules of Islam is Haram.

10. Muslims can eat the flesh of humans.

Answer: False

Cannibalism is definitely not allowed!

"But whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin - then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and Merciful." (al-Maa�idah 5:3)
