Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is the general rule applied to it? No.
The Shaykh : That is, regarding meat, we do not know whether the name of Allah was invoked over it or not, so they said: You are the ones who know, so eat it.
The questioner : Yes. Hmm? It appears so.
The Shaykh : A slave of Allah, and he has a statement, because the responsible authority that imports it was asked, and they said that it is a condition imposed on them that the slaughter be done in the Islamic manner.
