Summary/Abstract: The food and drink consumption is the most essential biological and human need. The quality of life considerably depends on the quality of the food. We find pleasure in food and drink. Throughout the history, the people have shown a great respect towards the food, amazed by the God's creation seen in the creation of the food itself. Thus, the meal became the cult or at the very least a ceremony. Showing respect for this cult or ceremony was considered as polite or decent while showing disrespect was considered as impolite or indecent. Islam respects this need under the condition that we are concerned with how much, what, when and where we eat and drink. From the Sharia's point ofvie:.V, the food and drink can be halal-permitted, haram -forbidden and mekruh -criticized.
