Why this ruling
Döner kebab is vertical spit-roasted meat carved into bread or plates. In Türkiye it is widely Halal by default; in Europe and elsewhere, pork mixes, non-Halal slaughter, and shared shops make döner product-specific.
Opening answer: Döner is usually Halal in everyday Türkiye, but Halal if verified abroad until slaughter and species are verified—pork cones are Haram.[1][2]
