Please advise,

My uncle is an Amrithdhari, very good person, but he has many muslim friends. That's ok, but i have seen him eating halal meat on so many occasion. He comes from a very, very respected family, but he's always around muslims and consuming halal food. I am younger than him, a lot younger, so how do i tell him its wrong. He's respect by everyone, but no one knows about it. He even talks bad about halal as well. confused!!

The official maryada authorised by Sri Akal Takth Sahib states that halal meat is a bajjar kurehit.

If he doesn't know he is eating halal meat then I would tell him to be on the safe side.

Besides, the SRM is the minimum rehat for every Amritdhari. They have a choice to follow the minimum or the recommended.

Halal Meat is a severe Bujjar Kurehat.  

 

ਹੁਕਾ ਕੁਠਾ ਚਰਸ ਤੰਬਾਕੂ ਭੂਲਹਿ ਸਿੰਘ ਨਜੀਕ ਜਾਵੈ॥

Hukah, kutha, tobacco; A Singh does not go near these.

-Sri Gur Katha, Bhai Jaita Ji

 

 

ਆਪਨ ਇਸ਼ਟ ਬਿਨਾ ਅਵਰਨ ਕਾ ਸਿੰਘ ਕਬਹੂੰ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਨਹਿਂ ਲੇਵੇ॥

A Singh shall not eat the Prasad of any other faith than is own Ishta.

ਮਤ ਪ੍ਰਵਿਰਤ ਭਏ ਤਿਸ ਜਨ ਕੀ ਅਵਕਨ ਕਾ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਜੋ ਜੇਵੈ॥

The mind of such a Sikh is polluted by eating the oblations of another religion.

ਅਰ ਫਿਰ ਸਿਦਕ ਭਿ ਡੋਲਹਿ ਤਿਸ ਕਾ ਸਮ ਪ੍ਰਸਾਦਿ ਜੋ ਸਭਸ ਜਨੇਵੈ॥੮॥

One's Sidhak [faith;belief;principles of living] wavers by eating the oblations of all and sundry.

-Sri Gur Katha, Bhai Jaita Ji

 

Halal meat is meat from an animal which has been slaughtered by the Islamic method with Kalma prayers.  

The only Maas which is Parwan by Guru Sahib is the Maas of Jhatka, ideally with Maryada. The Islamic method is not the way of the Khalsa.

 

What your uncle is doing is a severe transgression of the Sikh Rehat.  If he wishes to consume Maas, it must not be Halal or any other non-Sikh religious method.  Ideally he should eat Jhatka.  If not, then Maas from a method slaughtered in a humane way, which isn't an oblation to any faith should be eaten.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
