The claim that islam promotes poor hygiene while cooking is a misconception and not based on Islamic teachings. In fact, islam emphasizes cleanliness and hygiene in all aspects of life, including food preparation. Islamic guidelines stress cleanliness as a part of faith, with various teachings promoting hygienic practices both in personal and communal life.

The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) encouraged washing hands before and after meals, cleaning utensils, and maintaining personal cleanliness. In the context of cooking, Islamic teachings place great importance on using clean utensils, preparing food in a hygienic environment, and consuming food that is pure and free from contamination.

Islamic dietary laws also promote hygiene through the concept of "halal" (permissible) and "tayyib" (pure). Food must not only be permissible but also wholesome and clean. This includes ensuring the slaughter of animals is done in a clean environment, with minimal suffering, and that food is handled with care.

If there are concerns regarding poor hygiene in certain cultural practices or specific regions, these are often cultural or socio-economic issues rather than Islamic teachings. Associating poor hygiene with islam is an unfounded stereotype that disregards the religion's explicit instructions on cleanliness and health.
