Slaughter in Muslim Lands and Good Opinion of It
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Or for someone else, without knowing the situation, does he repeat it or not?
The Shaykh:
Okay.
The questioner:
He says: When a person goes to the mosque for an administrative study in his home or elsewhere, and he does not know its condition, is the mosque one he is reassured about or not?
The Shaykh:
This is excessive strictness. In Muslim lands, the responsible authority for slaughter in the country is the municipality, and they do not provide anything but Muslim [slaughterers]. Municipalities do not provide anything but Muslim [slaughterers]. And what is slaughtered in Muslim lands is halal. The default regarding it is [the absence of] shirk (associating partners with Allah). So hold a good opinion and do not have doubts about this matter.
