Question

I want to ask regarding prasad which Hindus etc. offer such as sweets, fruits etc. In the Quran I didn't know of any verse regarding prohibiting this. What I found is prohibition of eating their meat which is not halal. Can u tell me any evidence from Quran and Sunnah regarding prohibition of vegetarian products like sweets etc except meat or complete prohibition on all types?

Answer

Those products and articles that are offered to their gods and idols are also prohibited. Look at Surah An`aam.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
