Hello,
I am wondering if eating halal meat is an option for a noahide. The reason I ask is that from where I am living it is much easier to get than kosher slaughtered food. I would buy kosher meat as my first port of call, as it causes the least suffering, but then read on an internet site that halal also causes minimum suffering and is ok for noahides, however, I would like to have the official line! I was thinking that for a noahide who wants to protect and respect the life of living things, It would not be seen as idolatory but rather a demonstration of one upholding the seven laws in the eyes of all people. It would be good to hear what you think.
Thanks, Shanti.
