Is In-N-Out Halal?

The short version

In-N-Out is not halal-certified anywhere in the US, and its beef is not zabiha. There is no pork, but that alone does not make the beef halal.

Why "no pork" isn't enough

In-N-Out has a famously short menu and no pork, which leads many to assume it is safe. But halal beef must be slaughtered Islamically, and In-N-Out's beef comes from conventional suppliers with no halal certification — so it does not qualify.

The fries and shakes

In-N-Out fries are cooked in 100% sunflower oil, and the shakes are dairy-based, so both avoid the meat issue by ingredient. Strict eaters may still weigh shared equipment.

A halal alternative

For a halal burger instead, look for a locally halal-certified burger spot or a built-halal chain, and confirm any restaurant's halal status — with the evidence behind it — on our verified directory.
