820 During Taqqiya I am converted Muslim and my parents are not Muslim. I am living with them together. I have been doing Taqqiya and I have been avoiding eating meat. Before I became Muslim I tried being vegetarian, so it helped me. But my father got to know I am keeping my religion and got angry so much. Finally he told me that I should think about death if I keep my religion.
I decided to take Taqqiyah again.
If I confront some situation that I should eat Haram food, how can I do? How is the rule upon these?
