Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it obligatory for one who travels to the lands of the People of the Book to ask about their method of slaughtering animals before eating, or is it sufficient for him to know that it is from the slaughter of the People of the Book?
Answer:
What does he say? Praise be to Allah. Now, there is no country in the world that does not have Muslims or Muslim minorities. So he asks the Muslim minorities in the country he went to about halal meat and buys from them. It is most likely that they have specific slaughterhouses for Muslims and Islamic communities. And Islamic centers also exist. Yes.
