The Halal Quest already includes and diet:vegan != only to exclude purely vegan restaurants. However, I would argue that even in a purely vegan restaurant, a sauce could have been prepared with (vegan) wine and would then no longer be halal

I agree; that seems incorrect.

I'm not an expert either, but wikipedia states that halal foods are those that are:

Made, produced, manufactured, processed, and stored using machinery, equipment, and/or utensils that have been cleaned according to Islamic law (shariah).

Free from any component that Muslims are prohibited from eating according to Islamic law.[11]

While latter might be mostly covered by Vegan (but not completely; as noted intoxicants like alcohol are not permmited), the former is very unlikely to be followed, unless it is specifically Halal-oriented vegan restaurant.

The PR that introduced that clause (#3883) references #2990 (comment) but in retrospect that seems highly inconclusive.

So, it would IMHO be better to ask Halal quest even on Vegan restaurants - the time saved by skipping them is likely not all that much, and it prevents adding correct Halal information.

The Jewish term kosher also means something like “suitable".

And its wikipedia also mentions reasons why it should not be assumed on Vegan restaurants - e.g. "fruit of the first three years of a tree's growth or replanting are forbidden for eating" and other rules; so AddKosher.kt is already fine (as it does not mention diet:vegan in its elementFilter).

TL;DR: I would thus suggest removing and diet:vegan != only from Halal quest too.

Uh oh!
