I live in a Hindu majority country where my cousin bought us some food. Is it permissible to eat it without enquiring about its origins?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

We are not allowed to eat non Halal meat. We must be sure that it is Halal.

Vegetarian food is allowed if it is not been touched with wetness by Mushrik or Kafir.

If vegetarian food Is brought to you by a Muslim who knows and cares for Islamic rules, you don't need to inquire unless you have reason to doubt.

My mom bought me food and I am not sure if it is Halal or not, and there is no information on the specific product that I could find online. Is it permissible for me to eat it?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

If the food has animal ingredients, you must be sure that it is Halal before  consuming it. Animal ingredients are not allowed for eating before being sure that it is Halal.

If the food has no animal ingredients, nor alcohol, and you don't know that it has Najis ingredients, then it will be allowed for you to consume it.
