If they’re eating halal for reasons they dont seek to change (religious or otherwise) it can be extremely difficult to “cook at home” because you need to secure halal food sources, which if there aren’t even any restaurants with halal food, it may be extremely difficult to secure halal ingredients
No. Halal is basically Kosher for Muslims. So much so that my Muslim friends are perfectly happy getting lunch at the local kosher deli. The animals must be butchered a very specific way, and overseen by a Jewish or Muslim authority to be kosher or halal respectively.
Yes, plant-based foods can be halal, and in many cases, they are by default. Fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and legumes are all naturally halal as long as they are not processed or prepared with haram substances. […] If these foods are handled, flavoured, or packaged with non-halal ingredients such as alcohol, gelatine, or animal-derived enzymes, they may no longer be considered halal.

I think that seafood is basically the same as with Kosher… so you can only eat things from the sea that have both fins and scales. Or is it gills and scales?
I worked with a Muslim in Amsterdam who ordered vegetarian because he was pretty sure it would be Halal. That was 20 years ago, so maybe he’d have an easier time eating non-vegetarian now? I see lots of Halal signs in restaurant windows, but who knows?

Fish, seafood, fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, legumes like rice, wheat, beans, and lentils … all default halal, no?
Seafood (other than fish) may or may not be halal depending on the school of Islam. The others should be fine.
