I wanted to add that it is very nice of you to take the trouble to look into what he should or should not be eating, and he is fortunate to have a supportive parent. I do sympathize with the dietary restrictions and allergies.

If it is available and affordable, and if you have storage space and can take delivery at home, halal meat can sometimes be purchased online. You may have already looked into that, but just putting it out there!

Son . Halal . Meat . Conversion to Islam . Food

Bismihi ta'āla

If he is still non-baligh, non-mukallaf, he can eat it, but I would definitely not recommend such a thing. We believe that non-halal food has a deep impact on the human spirit and mind, and even physical impact. Try to find alternatives for him, without compromising, and instill in him the importance of halal food, and sacrifices a Muslim makes for the sake of his/her religion and obedience to Almighty God who put all these laws and rulings for reasons that will benefit us.

Income . Haram . Halal . Khums . Oppression

In Western countries, companies serve both oppressors and others. What is the ruling on the income generated from these companies? Can it be considered Halal by paying Khums, given that not all customers are oppressors?

Companies with mixed income (Lawful and unlawful income) should not be involved in killing or supporting killers of innocents or dealing with alcohol, pork, gambling etc. Working in such mixed income companies then is considered lawful.

Cryptocurrency . Halal . Haram . Sunni-Shi'a

What criteria can be used to assess whether a specific cryptocurrency is allowed based on Shia teachings? I have heard some cryptocurrencies involve prohibited activities, so how can I identify if trading a specific cryptocurrency is permissible or not?

Our great Maraaje' of Taqleed have different opinions on cryptocurrency as some of them allow dealing with it, and some don't allow while few of them don't have any verdict yet.

Those scholars who allow dealing with cryptocurrency include Ayatullah Sayyed Moosa Shubairi Zanjani, do not differentiate between cryptocurrencies as far as dealing with it does not contradict or break the law of your country and it should not harm others.
