Buying from restaurants that sell imported chicken labeled as halal

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: Some restaurants sell imported chicken from Brazil, and they say it is labeled "halal." Is it permissible to buy from them?

Answer:
This writing on the bag, and the bag has been labeled this way for a long time, is not evidence of its truth. It is not proof of its veracity. So the safest course for you, and the one that clears your conscience, is to eat from what is free of doubt, namely meat slaughtered in the country by Muslims. Yes.
