Bismillah

Thank you for your question. It is not permissible to eat meat which has not been slaughtered according to Islamic law, except in a situation of starvation, where there is no alternative (no other food at all) and at that point a person is allowed to eat only the amount that is necessary for survival. In Western countries this type of situation is not usual and there are plenty of alternatives to eat such as fish with scales, prawns, vegetables and other types of carbohydrates (bread, rice, pasta) and so on.

May you always be successful

Halal . Seafood

What is the ruling regarding cross contamination between Halal food, such as a steak, and any Haram seafood? Is it allowed to have the Halal food cooked from utensils that were used for the Haram seafood?

Haraam sea food is not allowed to be eaten but it is not Najis, that is why, Halal food cooked in utensils that were used for Haraam seafood is allowed.

This is only for the non Halal seafood because it is not Najis, otherwise, every non Halal food like meat, chicken etc is Najis and utensils used in cooking it become Najis and must be made Taahir before we can use it in cooking.

It is good to mention that non Halal seafood includes every seafood except scaled fishes and prawns.

Christians . Halal . God (Allah) . South Africa . Zabiha . Prophet Ibrahim

In South Africa there are some misinformed Christians who boycott Halal meat thinking it has been slaughtered in the name of a foreign god. To counter this situation can we say "In the name of the God of Prophet Ibrahim" instead of "In the name of Allah"?

Yes we can say that because the God of Prophet Ibrahim is none but Allah.
