| Jan 23, 2017 at 4:37 | comment | added | sarmahdi | The reason of OP could also be because, Muslims do have a belief that open food should not be touched by polytheists( with wet hands) or else it has to be washed before consumption. For Muslims, Jews and Christians are ppl of the book so that does not apply to them but the same may not be true the other way around. So what a Muslim wont like for their food the same rule may apply to them as well and so should be careful not to contaminate who may think Muslims to be impure if there is such a concept in Kashrut. | |
