Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, this questioner asks: Is it permissible to eat the meat of the People of the Book if the blood is not drained?
The Shaykh:
Is it permissible, what?
The questioner:
Is it permissible to eat the meat of the People of the Book if the blood is not drained?
The Shaykh:
If an animal is slaughtered, blood must be drained from it. If it is slaughtered at the throat, the windpipe, and the esophagus, blood must be drained, whether from the People of the Book or from others. However, if it is slaughtered in a place other than the proper place of slaughter, it is not permissible, whether from the People of the Book or from others. Yes. But as I mentioned to you, a Muslim finds among Muslims, among the communities, and among the Islamic centers, people who have created an excuse for themselves regarding meat. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
