Islamic Veg

Veganism is Un-Islamic and Haram

“If I had a riyal for every time someone has said “Being vegan is HARAM!” to me, I would be able to single-handedly fund the vegan restaurant of my dreams. 

This is by far the most common myth that pervades surface-level discussions on veganism and Islam. Yet, it is also the easiest to refute.  Even scholars who do not understand the reasoning behind current-day veganism concede that the practice of veganism is permissible in Islam. Perhaps most surprisingly, even the Salafi scholars at Islam Q&A accept that practising veganism does not make one less of a Muslim.”


In this detailed essay, Dr Mohamed Ghilan explains all the reasons why Muslims in our time should be vegan.
