I've seen them asking the Koong Woh Tong staff whether it's halal in front of me

Some of them I know don't take because not halal.. Depends how liberal and open minded they are.. Like those pork free restaurants.. Some of them insist must have halal logo only will go eat

The "gui ling gao" contains turtle shell.. I don't think they will trust the ingredients used smile.gif

No longer use turtle shell for many many many many years ady, protected animal

Got it, so it is up to individual appetite.
I guess it will not be a problem with religious department if Muslims consume those drinks as long as it is not printed or marketed as halal?
Or the owner has the obligation to display or inform that the drink is not certified halal?

Personally no, some of the smell can be abit too overbearing. I think tea should have a more soft & pleasant fragrance, but I believe that's more to personal taste. Wouldn't look for them for health benefits though, that one is more because of my own lack of confidence in traditional / alternative medicine in general.

Also didn't know air mata kucing is considered herbal tea. No issues drinking that.

People who understand that herbs are halal and trust the manufacturer not putting any pig bone inside the herbal tea, yes.

Else, and default: No.

Curious to know, bottled herbal tea such as those sold by Chinese medicine shops like Koong Woh Tong or Shun Tai Hong, or like the famous petaling street air mata kucing. Do/Can Muslims consume those drinks?
Thanks!

I have been living overseas for study. So I don't exactly see the big deal about halal cert. As long as the drink doesn't contain haram element like alcohol, pork, blood, haram meats etc, then its fair game.

Halal logo isn't what defines halal or haram anyway. Just another tool to help us in decision making. As long as each muslim are equipped with the knowledge, then they can perform due diligence to research or ask in determining what's halal, haram or was-was in the ingredients themselves.

Those open mind will drink/eat even without halal cert.

Some of my co worker die die won't masuk a restaurant without halal logo unless is a Malay operated shop

So she always never join us in the team lunch because we go to those no lark no pork restaurant. ( Other Malay they are ok as long no lard no pork but non halal logo).

There really should be a poll on this soalan susah

But we know why all diam diam no one buat survey on this

All know the truth hurts and will be condemned as bias in one way or another

Ya, that's what triggered my question. I think from the replies here it is definitely up to individual.

Btw RM6 for a bottle is such a rip off!

Indeed its really up to the individual

If you go TREC on weekends, you will see many of them drink alcohol

So for some its ok, some not ok. Thats why you also see varying answers here
