Yes, generally kosher food is considered halal in Islam with some exceptions. According to Islamic teachings, all foods that are considered lawful (kosher) by Jewish dietary laws are permissible for Muslims to eat, except for alcohol. The term “kosher” refers to foods that comply with Jewish dietary regulations. However, Muslims must ensure that no alcohol or other haram (forbidden) ingredients are included in the kosher food.
The Quran allows Muslims to consume the food of the People of the Book (Jews and Christians), as stated in [Surah Al-Ma’idah, 5:5]: “This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you…” Nonetheless, if any kosher food is known to contain alcohol or has been sacrificed to deities other than Allah, it would be considered haram.
