In Islam, the opposite of halal (legal) is haram (illegal). In the U.S. and other westernized countries, the vast majority of meat is not slaughtered according to Islamic law (dhabihah); therefore it is considered haram. So any barbeque in virtually any household in the U.S. or other westernized country would be considered haram.
