hallal

Lawful for Muslims

Hallal is a variant spelling of halal, meaning permissible under Islamic law.

The term most commonly describes food prepared according to Muslim dietary requirements—animals slaughtered in a specific manner with prayers recited, and the avoidance of pork and alcohol: Is this restaurant hallal?

The spelling halal is more standard in English.
