Purchasing bakery products from non-Muslim chain stores
Question
Are bread/bread rolls from chain-stores like Spar, Pick n Pay, Checkers, etc. Halaal, or is it advisable to avoid purchasing it from there? These are made by in-store bakeries.
Answer
We, as Muslims, should refrain from purchasing food items prepared in non-Muslim outlets, particularly when they sell other Haraam food items as well, even though they may assure us that their products do not contain any Haraam ingredients.
