789	Acceptance of Prayers	As Salaam Alaikum Wa Rahmutullah Wa Barakatu, I have been a Muslim for two years now and I have a hard time with the rules concerning foods. I recently had some Turkey Ham and did not research the company to see if it was halal. I was just told that if you consume haram meats that your prayers/supplications will not be answered for 40 days. I thought that only applied to alcohol, drugs, gambling, etc. If I knew that my prayers/supplications wouldn't be answered for 40 days I would have definitely reconsidered eating that meat. My questions are: 1. Do I fall into the category of Ignorant? 2. Were my prayers/supplications not accepted? 3. Do I need to make up my prayers for the 40 days? Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions. Jazakallah Khair	Answered
