Bismillah,

If one knows that a product is fried with non-halal meat, then it would become najis (impure) and haram to eat. If one didn't know then there is no sin upon them.

Meat . Halal . Pet . Zabiha

Is it necessary for the meat we give to our pets to be slaughtered in a Halal way, or can we feed our pets meat that has been slaughtered unIslamically?

It is not obligatory to feed our pets Halal meat or food, though it is better to do so if we can, but it is not Haraam to feed our pets non Halal food. Non Halal food is Haraam (not allowed) forus but not Haraam on animals.

Aqiqah . Meat . Sayyid

Can a Syed accept Aqiqah meat from another Syed?

Bismihi ta'ala

Yes, of course he can. The only thing that is haram for a Seyid to take is 'sadaqah wajibah', like Zakat.

Other than this, whether it is sadaqah mustahab, or aqiqah, or anything else is permissible and fine to take.

And Allah knows best.

Restaurant . Meat . Halal . Pork . Food

If a non-Muslim restaurant owner tells you that his meat is Halal, can you eat the meat? And if the non-Muslim is also selling pork and assures you the Halal meat won't touch the pork, could you still eat from there?

Non Muslim seller who claims that the meat he is selling or wants to sell is Halal can not be taken as an authentic evidence that the meat is really Halal. If Muslim tells you that his meat is Halal and you have no reason to doubt his statement, then you can take the neat as Halal.

Restaurants selling alcohol or pork can never be trusted as utensils and plates used in cooking or serving alcohol or pork become Najis and and every other food put in Najis utensils and plates becomes Najis as well.

Meat . Muharram . Food

Is it prohibited to eat meat during Muharram?

It is not prohibited, but, traditionally, some people have chosen not to eat meat in the hope that it makes the heart softer towards the tragedy of Imam Husain (A), or as a gesture of abstinence for mourning, or because Imam Husain (A) was slaughtered similar to how an animals is slaughtered, or some other reasons.

Anyway I am not aware of the origin of this practice, but it is a personal choice whether one eats meat or does not eat meat.

In practice, many of the traditional foods distributed in some places during the month of Muharram (such as the stews made in big pots) contain meat.
