In-N-Out is not halal in the United States. Its beef does not come from halal suppliers and is not slaughtered the zabiha way, and no location is halal-certified. In-N-Out does not serve pork, but its beef is still not halal, because the cattle are not slaughtered the Islamic way. The fries, which are cooked in sunflower oil, and the shakes avoid the meat issue.

The short answer
In-N-Out is not halal-certified anywhere in the United States, and its beef is not slaughtered the zabiha way. It does not serve pork, but that alone does not make the beef halal.
Why isn't "no pork" enough at In-N-Out?
In-N-Out is famous for its short menu, and it serves no pork. That leads many people to assume it is safe. However, halal beef must come from cattle slaughtered the Islamic way. In-N-Out's beef comes from ordinary suppliers, with no halal certification, so it does not qualify.
Are In-N-Out fries and shakes halal?
In-N-Out fries are cooked in 100% sunflower oil, and the shakes are made from dairy. So both avoid the meat issue by their ingredients. Strict eaters may still want to think about the shared kitchen equipment.
Where can you find a halal burger instead?
Look for a local burger restaurant that is halal-certified, or a chain built to be halal. You can check any restaurant's halal status, and the evidence behind it, in our verified directory.
