Food . Haram . Meat . Halal . Cooking Oil

If food containing haram meat (for example, dumplings where the meat is fully enclosed and does not touch the cooking oil) is fried, does the cooking oil remain halal?

Meat inside the dumpling is usually cooked by the heat of the cooking oil, that is why such oil touches the meat in direct or indirect way, so, if the meat was non Halal, the cooking oil will not remain Tahir.

Cat . Food . Meat . Water . Najis

If a container of cat food was washed under tap water, causing spills, and some small amount of water was added to purify it without removing the impurity, does that make the sink area impure?

When tap water is used and the Najis item (A'yn al-Najasah) is removed then there is no question of impurity remains. Cat food by itself is not necessarily Najis unless it contains Najis ingradeint.

I wanted to add that it is very nice of you to take the trouble to look into what he should or should not be eating, and he is fortunate to have a supportive parent. I do sympathize with the dietary restrictions and allergies.

If it is available and affordable, and if you have storage space and can take delivery at home, halal meat can sometimes be purchased online. You may have already looked into that, but just putting it out there!

Bismihi ta'āla

If he is still non-baligh, non-mukallaf, he can eat it, but I would definitely not recommend such a thing. We believe that non-halal food has a deep impact on the human spirit and mind, and even physical impact. Try to find alternatives for him, without compromising, and instill in him the importance of halal food, and sacrifices a Muslim makes for the sake of his/her religion and obedience to Almighty God who put all these laws and rulings for reasons that will benefit us.

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.
