Hungry for Allah
17th February 2024
The following report from the Radio Maudin channel in France features the account of a young woman who had just given birth in a public hospital, and was denied a full meal by the nursing assistant who brought her food. The reason? The nursing assistant was a Muslim, and the young mother was of Tunisian descent. Therefore the halal restrictions had to be applied to the new mother. She was hungry for her ham and mashed potatoes, but she was not allowed to have them.
