The Ruling on Eating Imported Chicken from Western Countries
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the slaughtered animals that come from the lands of the People of the Book, such as chicken today, is it necessary to verify the status of the one who slaughtered them, or is it permissible to eat them based on the default ruling?
Answer:
Avoiding them is undoubtedly the safer course. This is a matter in which research has been prolonged and difficulties have arisen. The Committee of Senior Scholars proposed establishing companies for chicken in the country and producing it domestically. They said it should be produced in the country and slaughtered there. That is what they concluded, and this is available, praise be to Allah. Local slaughter is abundant, and local chicken is abundant; it suffices you in place of the imported.
