Prince Albert's accepted in Abu Dhabi, say (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

halal

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'abu dhabi say' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'prince albert's accepted' is the wordplay.
'prince' becomes 'hal' (Shakespearean nickname of Henry V when a prince).
'albert' becomes 'al'.
'accepted' is an insertion indicator.
'hal' going around 'al' is 'HALAL'.

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for halal that I've seen before include "food legally approved" , "which food is legal in Mecca" , "specially-prepared meat" , "(Of meat) suitable for Muslims" , "specially prepared type of meat" .)
