Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: I am a student sent abroad, to the Netherlands, so is it permissible for me to eat from their slaughtered animals?
Answer:
Generally, the lands of the disbelievers are not devoid of Muslim communities and Islamic centers where they provide specific slaughtering for them or specific slaughterhouses for them. So you are with the Muslims there, eating what they eat, to be safe from doubts and questions. If you are in a country where there are no Muslims and no Islamic center, fish does not require slaughter; everyone eats fish.
