Is Burger King Halal?

The short answer

No Burger King in the United States is halal-certified, and it does not use halal-certified meat suppliers. Its beef and chicken are slaughtered in the ordinary commercial way, pork is on the menu, and the equipment is shared. So treat Burger King in the US as not halal.

Why isn't Burger King halal in the United States?

Burger King holds no halal certification from any recognized US body, and it does not use zabiha slaughter for its beef or chicken. Bacon and sausage are on the menu. The flame grills and fryers are shared across menu items, which adds contact with pork on top of the sourcing problem.

Is Burger King halal in other countries?

Yes, in some. Some Burger King locations in Muslim-majority countries serve halal-certified menus. That depends on the country and does not apply to US restaurants, so a halal Burger King abroad tells you nothing about one in the United States.
