Quora Answer: Can I Embrace Islam, if I am a Vegetarian from India?
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
The following is my answer to a Quora question: “I am from India, and I am a vegetarian. I would like to embrace Islam. I want to continue being vegetarian. My only question is can my family and I remain vegetarian after conversion?”
There is nothing in
Islamic jurisprudence that precludes you from being a vegetarian by choice. It is not part of the religion that a Muslim
must eat meat. Muslims who claim such
are ignorant. It is known that the
Prophet (s.a.w.) himself, while not a vegetarian, hardly ate meat.
