A term from Islam that refers to everything that is permitted or allowed according to Islamic law (Sharia). It is most commonly used in connection with dietary rules, especially for meat.

'Halal' is an adjective from Arabic that is not declined in German. It always keeps the form 'halal', no matter which noun it comes before. So it is 'das halal Fleisch' (the halal meat) and not 'das halale Fleisch'.
Gibt es in diesem Supermarkt auch halal Wurst?
Does this supermarket also have halal sausage?
'Halal' is most commonly used in connection with food. Typical combinations are 'halal Fleisch' (halal meat), 'halal Lebensmittel' (halal foods), 'halal Gummibärchen' (halal gummy bears, without pork gelatin), or the expression 'sich halal ernähren' (to follow a halal diet).
Viele Muslime achten darauf, sich halal zu ernähren.
Many Muslims make sure to follow a halal diet.
Although 'halal' is mostly known for dietary rules, it literally means 'permitted' and can refer to all areas of life according to Islamic law. For example, there are also 'halal Finanzprodukte' (halal financial products) or 'halal Tourismus' (halal tourism).

permissible
'zulässig' and 'halal' both mean that something is allowed. The important difference lies in the area of the rule. 'zulässig' fits laws, regulations, or general rules, for example with authorities, exams, or contracts. 'halal' belongs to Islam and means that something is permitted under Islamic law. It is especially often about food and meat. If you want to say generally that something is allowed, 'zulässig' is more natural. If it is about religious rules in Islam, 'halal' is more precise.
