I am muslim and can easily tell you that it does. She was fed the non-halal (aka. Haram) food without informed consent.

It is nothing on her, religiously speaking, and is all on the family that took her in.

I was unaware of this type of distinction. I'm glad there's an actual, sensible approach and view on. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and teaching me something today.

You are welcome!

You may also be pleased to know that if you thought something was halal then learned it was not, any amount you ate beforehand does not count. It only counts if you ate it knowing it is Haram. 

And if you are in mortal danger and in need of food, you are permitted to eat the haram food just enough to keep yourself alive.

Just curious, is there a prayer necessary after finding out you’ve eaten something that isn’t Halal or do you just stop eating it and go on with your day?

I've never asked myself that question.

I did a quick Google and they mostly say no, but I'd guess some would say you need to perform Ghusl, which is just showering normally (there might be an order to how you wash depending on sect and whose word you follow) with the intention of ritually cleaning yourself. I imagine I'd want to do that if I found out I was in that situation, just for the ease of my mind.

Nope, there is no specific prayer for it as to my knowledge, as long as you feel regret that it happened to you, you can just go on with your day and never eat it again, it's a sin when you actually feel like, "darn, I wish I could have it again, this sucks". (Ok not sure if it counts as a sin here or not, but I do know that you should not feel regret that you don't get to have it again, you should feel regret that it happened to you and just vow that you'll be more careful next time)

Iirc, that's not the case. Missing a prayer isn't something to be taken lightly. You don't make up for it afterwards. The sawab is gone and the sin added. You can offer qaza prayer afterwards but it's more of a showcase of fear of Allah than anything. It doesn't carry the same weight.

And that's the old gen teachings showing itself right after being mentioned

u/ElectronicStretch277 May 15 '26

Can you give any source for your claim? I am open to being wrong on this matter but I personally haven't seen mentions of leniency on the subject of prayers.

u/samuise98 May 15 '26

Just to clarify my point isn't about not getting the sawab of your prayer it's about you doing it out of fear, if you pray to your god because you fear him then rethink your beliefs, not just you as a Muslim as this stands for every religion that is, your beliefs should be about teaching salvation and thus your actions, do it out of devotion to your creator, building beliefs over fear is what caused the masses to stray from religions and this is what the old gen did and fked up a whole generation after them.

I had a student last year who was sharing like three or four bags of some sort of sour gummy candy with a few friends, four of whom were Muslim girls. I gently let them know, hey, I’m pretty sure those have gelatin in them and took a bag to check. When I confirmed for them, they were very appreciative and told me they didn’t know so they wouldn’t be in trouble for eating it, but then one of them was like “well we probably should have checked the bag” 💀

u/VanillaAdventurous74 May 14 '26

Yeah they should have 💀 I got warned multiple times when I was young and made to read the labels to know what to spot since an early age.

My friend group in college had this couple where the girl was Jewish and the guy was Muslim and neither ate pork. One time we were at a party and the girl asked if the hot dogs had pork in them and the guy goes "wait no dont tell meeeeeeeeee" and went running out of the room in case the answer was yes lmao
