I am not someone who supports boasting their sins and I don’t want to boast about them because I know Allah conceals our sins for a reason, but I get a lot of waswas because I sometimes do eat haram food, but I do it because I don’t have a choice. Inflation has become really bad around where I live and everything is ridiculously expensive and sometimes, the cheapest choice is food that is haram. I sometimes also make haram food because I don’t have the energy to cook something that might be halal but could still be haram. I’m not sure if it makes sense, so ask me any questions you need to.
I’m a college student, and the only one that’s bringing money into the house is my mom. My father passed away a few years before I graduated high school, and ever since, around that time, our financial situation has become desperate. I would have to go to the food bank for my mom and bring whatever I could. I still refuse to eat pork, though. I don’t eat anything that has gelatin in it, and I don’t drink alcohol. From opening up about this experience, I’m hoping you’re able to advice me, and answer if eating haram food prevent dua and Salah from being accepted because that’s what I have heard?
