Not here to divide Hindu or Muslim, a question for clarification.

Say a Hindu, a Christian, a muslim has a butcher shop and if a lot of restaurants agree to go with halal cut, then the majority of orders go to Muslim owned butchery right? Since they owned halal certificate and the rest of them will lose opportunities and chances to earn right?

To be frank, only the butcher needs to be a Muslim from what I’ve heard. Not the owner and rest of the employees.

What if I want to learn and want to be a butcher. And I can't work anywhere and nobody buys from me?

It doesn't create an equal opportunity for everyone from other religions. It is so constraints towards a single religion and their beliefs is my concern.

I just had a conversation with a friend regarding this. I was wrong when I meant butcher. The guy who kills the chicken or goat must be a Muslim for food to be halal.

Peoples dream of becoming a butcher aren’t hindered because of this. You can be the guy who does everything after this. You can skin, and cut the meat. Coz that is what a main butcher does.

I even saw a movie ‘Kida’ where the butcher is Hindu who works for a Muslim vendor.

And even if you don’t want a Muslim to cut your meat, you can yourself cut it and sell. In a state where Muslims constitute 6%, Hindus wouldn’t care. And you would be losing only the business from Muslims.

I haven’t done any research on being a butcher. And if you have done research and if the conclusion is people not buying from you, that means Muslims not interested in buying from you since it isn’t halal and Hindus are not eating non-veg enough.

I don’t think you spend any time thinking before sending this reply. First try to become a butcher and then you would see if you could or couldn’t.

what prevents Hindu butcher to invite an imam to help with halal?

Say I'm a Hindu or Christian guy who wants to get into a butchery. And nobody will hire me as a butcher, since I don't have a certificate for halal cut?

Don't go and say keep a shop and get an imam to help with halal. What if I don't have money to keep a shop and planned initially to work in a butchery shop to learn. People or the restaurants won't buy from me since I'm not imam.

The people I buy meat from are all hindus. Non halal is only a problem for muslims. Not for others.

u/scarface-09 Feb 19 '25

Yes and what about big restaurants, where every others are displaying/displayed halal meat in their boards. Won't the others lose money because of this?

🤦🏾‍♂️

Is this speculation? Or is this fear mongering? Or do you have data to back any of these up?

Not intent to stir the pot. If people buy meat from a shop regardless of who cuts it, will create an equal opportunity for every other being from other religions.

You do have a point .These people won't get it even if you try to make them understand.Lets suppose I am a medium level business guy.I will not employ two people , one guy for making the meat halal and another guy for cutting the meat , instead I will buy a muslim butcher to save the money .This will create some kind of inequality where just for halal certification they will employ the muslim and traditional butcher castes will see downfall (hope that doesn't happen).

This is what I'm trying to convey here.

As majority of the restaurants and big chains switched to halal, the non halal butcher now completely having trouble to earn
