Islamic ritual beginning to laud God of Islam, on reflection (6)
I believe the answer is:
hallal
'islamic ritual' is the definition.
The definition suggests an adjective which matches the answer.
'beginning to laud god of islam on reflection' is the wordplay.
'beginning to' indicates taking the first letters.
'god of islam' becomes 'allah' (I've seen this before).
'on reflection' says the letters should be written backwards.
The first letter of 'laud' is 'l'.
'l'+'allah'='lallah'
'lallah' back-to-front is 'HALLAL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for hallal that I've seen is " (Of meat) fit for Muslims".)
