Even the Qur’an allows Muslims to eat non-halal food in cases of necessity: “And why should you not eat of that on which Allah’s name has been pronounced, while he has explained to you in detail what is forbidden to you, except under compulsion of necessity?” (6:119)
But it isn’t good enough for this young lady, who demands better. And why not? Non-Muslims paying for the upkeep of Muslims is a Qur’anic dictate:
“Fight those who do not believe in Allah or the Last Day, and do not forbid what has been forbidden by Allah and his messenger, and do not acknowledge the religion of truth, even if they are of the People of the Book, until they pay the jizya with willing submission, and feel themselves subdued” (Qur’an 9:29).
The caliph Umar said the jizya payments from the dhimmis were the source of the Muslims’ livelihood:
“Narrated Juwairiya bin Qudama at-Tamimi: We said to `Umar bin Al-Khattab, ‘O Chief of the believers! Advise us.’ He said, ‘I advise you to fulfill Allah’s Convention (made with the Dhimmis) as it is the convention of your Prophet and the source of the livelihood of your dependents (i.e. the taxes from the Dhimmis.)’” (Bukhari 4.53.388)
“‘Trust me, you wouldn’t eat it!’ Muslim housing commission resident trapped in Melbourne’s misery towers complains the food she’s given for free isn’t halal,” by Zoe Zaczek, Daily Mail Australia, July 8, 2020 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
A Muslim woman locked up in one of Melbourne’s nine public housing towers says she wasn’t able to eat the food delivered to her door as she didn’t know if it was halal.
TikTok user Dekaspammmm has shared a series of videos detailing her experience of being confined to her unit while Melbourne battles a second wave of coronavirus infections.
‘On the first day we received some bread and this thing,’ she said in the footage, alongside a picture of the meal.
‘Trust me you wouldn’t eat it if you could afford your own food.
‘I’m Muslim, I have a diet. I can’t eat any food that’s not halal. How am I supposed to know what’s gone into that?’
‘And even if it was halal, I don’t think I’d eat that honestly, especially when I can afford my own food.’
The nine public housing towers in North Melbourne and Flemington were put into immediate lockdown on Saturday afternoon.
Three thousand people will remain in hard lockdown until all residents are tested for COVID-19 and the results are evaluated….
‘I don’t want to sound rude but we have money guys, that’s not the problem here,’ Dekaspammmm said in another video.
‘It’s the fact we are locked up inside and we are not allowed to go shopping you know. I appreciate everyone saying ”we will try to get this to you”.
‘AMSSA have so many supplies right now but the problem is it’s not getting to us.
‘It’s not coming up the building. The police say talk to the DHHS and the DHHS are saying talk to the police so it’s really just a case of how is it going to get to us.’…
