Is Tim Hortons Coffee Halal?
Tim Hortons is a Canadian coffeehouse chain known for their legendary Timbits and doughnuts that offer plenty of breakfast, lunch and dinner options for Muslims.
But is Tim Hortons Halal? Well it depends what you are searching for; many items on their menu contain meat products which would render Tim Hortons non-halal; however you may enjoy pastries, cookies and drinks which are all suitable halal options.
Drinks that do not contain meat or animal products are considered halal; to be safe, however, check that the drink is labeled as such or ask staff to verify its halal status. If unsure, seek guidance from an Islamic scholar or Imam.
Ethyl alcohol is a chemical substance which may or may not be considered permissible depending on its source, such as grapes or dates; or manufactured synthetically.
Tim Hortons customers must take special care in verifying the halal status of all their purchases from Tim Hortons. When considering purchasing a milkshake from them, be sure that all ingredients such as milk are halal before purchasing one – this includes ice cream and sugar for instance.
