Nowadays we hear of so many incidents that the meat of dogs, rats and donkeys are cooked in some restaurants and bakeries, and people are unaware of this. Apparently, this is not done in every restaurant, so should we just have positive thoughts and eat in whatever restaurant we like, or must we refrain?
The foods and drinks provided in a restaurant cannot be deemed Haram and unlawful based of mere doubt. Unless the reasons for something being Haram and unlawful are known, it cannot be deemed as Haram. However, if someone has these types of doubts about any specific restaurant, then he should refrain from eating there.
And Allah knows best.
فی الصحیح للمسلم: قال رسول اللہﷺ ان الحلال بین وان الحرام بین وبینہما مشتبہات لا یعلمہن کثیر من الناس فمن اتقی الشبہات استبرأ لدینہ وعرضہ ومن وقع فی الشبہات وقع فی الحرام الخ (ج:۲ ص: ۲۸) واللہ اعلم بالصواب
