Halal (permissible) and Haram (forbidden) are the main concepts of Islamic dietary laws and are used to designate what is lawful to be eaten and what is prohibited for Muslims. Foods whose consumption is ambiguous are called Mashbooh. Muslims must follow these laws and never disobey irrespective of their age, sex, and caste.

The dietary laws of Islam have many similarities with dietary laws of Judaism. The followers of Islam eat foods that purify their body and spirit from all kinds of dirt and impurities, based on what Allah commands. For example, all kinds of birds are permitted expect for prey birds. In Islam, all kinds of vegetables, fruits, and crops that are not contaminated are allowed. Animal meat is lawful for consumption when it has been properly slaughtered, except for meat that is specifically forbidden (e.g., pork). The prescribed method of ritual slaughter of all lawful halal animals is called Dhabihah.
