Islamic religious documents set down rules covering most aspects of adherents’ lives, but food and drink restrictions tend to be some of the best known by those outside the faith. The rules regarding which animals can and cannot be eaten by Muslims can be found in the Qur'an, which is the holy book of the faith. For example, pork is not permitted to be eaten, nor are carnivorous animals. Certain food elements, including lard and animal proteins like casein, aren’t usually allowed either, though certain exceptions may be made if the origin can be certified as halal. The law also states that animals that died of natural causes are not suitable for eating, and blood can’t be consumed at all.Duck that meets halal standards can be cooked in any number of ways. Most of the time its “halal” status can’t be revoked even if the meat is later cooked with haram ingredients, like pork products, alcohol, or certain animal fats or proteins. A Muslim diner may not wish to eat such a meal, but in this case it would be because the cooking was haram — not because the duck wasn’t halal.
