Allaicomu Salam brother.

I do not understand your question quite well brother.

But I think you asked is it halal to eat food in whcih are used chemiclas???

It is halal Alhamdulillah except if it is not used something which is haram in Islam.For example chemiclas are useing in many diffrent kind of produact like hiygienic producs,cosmetice etc,and we all use these producs Alhamdulilah.

But you can always take sandwich that you have made at your home for Uni,it is better than college food.

My mum is always making me food for college becasue she is not leting me to eat unheathy food,so home food is better choice always.

May Allah bless you.

Salam

brother/sister thank you for the answer
But my question is regarding Instant soups, they come in chicken and beef flavors but on the ingredients it says Chicken/beef (artificial) now i think those artificial flavors are derived from chemicals
So since its just chemicals are those things halal to eat?

I am going to give you an answer but I will tell up front I never looked to see if a scholar answered it. I am very very far from even coming close to scholar as well; with my knowledge.

If it is artificial like you said soup, the answer would be yes it is ok.

Allah specifically address an animal that is living. These chemicals, are not from a living animal I believe so that is why I say it is ok.

Of course if someone has a daleel, I would be glad to listen.

Finally, remember, Allah says everything is permissible except those things described by Quran and Sunnah as prohibited for a muslim.

may Allah give all of us guidance.

Bhai, if you live in the U.S, I suggest you search up "Halal Consumer Groups" on Google to see if any products are Halal, Inshallah.

the artificial flavors aren't bad unless they come from a haram source. sometimes we have to educate ourselves about the ingredients that are in our foods. the majority of the world doesn't have a problem with eating haram foods, which means that they aren't going to call or say that something like gelatin is pork. for years i was eating my favorite candy named skittles and my ex-fiancee were talking about our favorite candies and i mentioned how i loved skittles; she was was like what?!!!! skittles!!!! i said yeah they're the best!!! she said, shaykh stop playing, those candies are haram they're made with pork products!!! ever since then i have been more careful and researched the ingredients inside.
