    What should I do with my Haram food

    Salaams Superbro, Why not just give it to an animal? I always give any food that I might need to throw out to stray animals. Cats love yogurt. I hate to waste, around our house this is a big thing. Salaams Sabra

    [Question] Is it a sin to say Wallahe or Wallah

    Bissara(Moroccan split green peas)

    Salaams, Ok, thanks for the reply. In the second picture that looks like fava beans or as in Tunisia, foul. Can they be used with this recipe also? I think if I use the yellow adas, I should get the color in the pictures. Thanks again............ Salaams Sabra
