3.  Look for halal certified kitchens and restaurants owned and
operated by Muslims.
 Contact the restaurant in advance to ensure they sell strictly halal
foods.
 Stay away from restaurants offering both halal and non-halal
dishes because contamination can occur.

4.  If you cannot find a halal certified restaurant, the safest
option is to maintain a vegetarian diet while traveling.
 While you may eat seafood, make sure it is not prepared with
alcohol or animal-based oils.

apartment.
 With a kitchen you can prepare your own food to ensure halal
standards are obeyed.

make sure no haram ingredients were used.
