Bir Kardeşimizin Kanada’dan gönderdiği belgeye göre orada satılan ürünler üzerinde yapılan çalışmaların sonuçları haram-helal şeklinde listelenmiş olarak Müslümanlara açıklanmış.( İngilizce olarak alıntıladığımız bu listenin tamamını incelemek isteyen kardeşlerimiz listeyi tıklayabilir.) Aşağıda ise ülkemizde de benzer üretim yapan firmaların ve haram oldukları belirtilen ürünlerin listesini veriyoruz ve firma yetkililerine soruyoruz: Aynı patentle çalıştığınıza göre bu ürünlerinizde de haram madde kullanılıyor mu? Açıklama gönderirseniz, üye ve ziyaretçilerimizi bilgilendirmek için sitemizde yayınlanacaktır.
