Gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye, is considered halal in Islam. This means that it is permissible to consume and does not violate any Islamic dietary guidelines.
Here's why:
- No explicit prohibition: Islamic dietary laws, known as halal, focus on prohibiting certain foods, such as pork, blood, and carrion. Gluten is not mentioned in any of these prohibitions.
- Common ingredient: Gluten is a naturally occurring protein found in many staple foods, including bread and pasta, which are widely consumed by Muslims.
- No religious concerns: The consumption of gluten does not raise any religious or ethical concerns within Islam.
Therefore, gluten is considered halal and can be consumed by Muslims without any restrictions.
