It varies by country. In the US, Raising Cane’s is not halal-certified and its chicken is conventionally sourced rather than zabiha (though there is no pork) — so treat US Cane’s as not halal. But its Middle East locations (Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the UAE) run a halal-friendly menu prepared to Islamic standards. So Gulf Cane’s is halal while US Cane’s is not.

The short version
It depends on the country. In the US, Raising Cane's is not halal-certified and its chicken is not zabiha, though there is no pork. In the Gulf, Cane's runs a halal menu.
The US picture
Cane's serves a short chicken-finger menu with no pork, which leads many to assume it is safe. But halal chicken must be slaughtered Islamically, and US Cane's chicken comes from conventional suppliers with no halal certification — the same reason Chick-fil-A is not halal in the US.
Abroad
Raising Cane's expanded to the Middle East — with locations in Bahrain, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and the UAE (Dubai from 2024) — where the classic menu is made halal-friendly, meaning ingredients, preparation, storage and service follow Islamic law. That applies to those markets, not to US restaurants.
