Has Allah Ta’ala prohibited haram foods and drinks for disbelievers as well as Muslims? Or is it only prohibited for Muslims?
Question
In an Islamic State (Al-Khilafah), are disbelievers allowed to consume alcohol, pork and other haram foods?
Answer
The orders of Allah Ta'ala are not only for the believers but they are also for the non-believers. Similarly, the punishments, warnings and prohibitions are also directed towards the disbelievers. This means that if they die without accepting Islam, they will be punished for not submitting to the order of accepting Imaan. However, in an Islamic state, disbelievers will be allowed to consume alcohol, pork and other Haraam products.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
