Is cheese halal or haram?

Is cheese halal or haram? Because cheese is made from bacon. On the paper or box they don't write whose fats they have used. It can be a haram or halal, we don't know. A. Cheese is made from milk and is halal. It is not made of bacon or fat Q95: DONATING BLOOD Is it lawful to donate blood? Can blood be given to anybody? A. According to the Fatwa of our Mujtahids, it is allowed to donate blood, provided there is no danger to the donor himself. But it must be with his own free consent.

It is not allowed to take blood from the body of a dead Muslim. If the life of a Muslim depends on the donation of the blood, and if the donor has no danger to his own health, then as a matter of 'Ihtiyat' he must donate his blood. Q96: HOW TO SECURE HAPPINESS? How do we secure happiness of mind in Islamic concept? A. Well, first you have to understand that material well-being does not bring happiness.

If you have materialistic out-look, the more money or power you get the more your greed increases. So the materialistic outlook can never help you. On the other hand, if you have faith in Allah, and believe that there is a Day of Reckoning, then you will strive hard, not for this transitory life, but for the life-hereafter, which is everlasting. Your actions, behaviour, character and dealings with the people will all be governed by this thought and belief.

In this way, even if you are put to some troubles in this life, you will not be depressed by it. Because your eyes are onto a better and lasting reward in the life-hereafter. Thus, when your out-look and character is conditioned by Islamic spirit, you will feel the Love of Allah in your every breath. And that is the Source of True Happiness. Q97: "QITMEER" Some times I see that on the letters (after the sender's name and address) the word "Qitmeer" is written.

It is an Arabic word, and I don't know what it means. I asked someone and he said that it is the name of the dog of As-habul-Kahf. So, please, will you explain to me whether it is true or not and why they are writing, and also who are the people of As- habul-Kahf? A. According to a hadith of Ameerul-Mumeneen (as.) it was the name of the dog of As-hab- ul-Kahf.

You may read their story in the translation of the Qur'an (Sura Al-Kahf.) I have heard people saying that they write this name on a letter to ensure its safety; but I have not seen any hadith which mentions this.
