Question

Asalamualaikum wrb,

Is it permissible to consume a steak that was cooked and prepared but yet still has traces of blood on it?

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu 'alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

If the animal was slaughtered according to the Shariah laws of Dhabh (slaughter) and the meat (steak) was cooked, the meat will be Halal. The traces of blood is not blood.[1]

And Allah Ta'āla Knows Best
