There are several animals whose meat cannot be Halal, including all ports products, dogs, felines and human meat, and any carrion meat.
    
In order to meet Halal requirements, a suitable animal must have its throat cut with a knife and all of its blood drained, while the slaughterman invokes the Muslim [[prayer]] "Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim" (an [[Arabic]] phrase for "By the name of God, The Most Compassionate, The Most Merciful").

==Halal rules==

== Makruh ==
'''Halal''' forbids [[Muslims]] from consuming [[pork]], [[alcohol]], [[blood]], [[meat]] dedicated to a [[false god]], animals improperly slaughtered or dead before slaughtering. <ref>http://food-management.com/ar/fm_imp_13386/</ref>

Some foods are not forbidden, but are considered disliked (makruh). These include garlic and onions, due to to the odour left in the mouth, although many Muslims in Egypt, even the more conservative ones, ignore this teaching, as garlic and onions are staples of the healthy Egyptian diet and way of life.
