However, I believe that as long as the organization is managed by Muslims, maintains a good reputation, establishes clear guidelines, and seeks consultation from a scholarly body, it can be considered reliable. It's important to acknowledge that no single organization is flawless and that consensus on all ingredients is difficult to achieve. Additionally, it's worth noting that the default ruling for things is their purity, and for foods, excluding meat, it is their halal status. When in doubt, we revert to the default ruling.\"},{\"insert\":\"\\n\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fea0b76658b4c2328f2","tag":"Contemporary Life: Food and Medicine","count":54},{"_id":"668d9ffb0b76658b4c232ae7","tag":"Zabiha","count":10},{"_id":"66e3755be2af6a6c0b476405","tag":"Halal","count":3},{"_id":"66e3776ae2af6a6c0b47641f","tag":"Ingredients","count":1}],"createdOn":"2024-09-12T23:21:14.474Z"}
