The ruling on frozen meat imported from the lands of disbelievers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Frozen meat comes to us from the lands of disbelievers. Is it lawful or forbidden, because we do not know if it was slaughtered according to the Islamic method or not?

Answer:
If the meat came from Muslims, or from the People of the Book, the Jews and the Christians, and it was slaughtered according to the Sharia method, that is one thing. But if it came from a polytheistic land, from a polytheistic or atheistic communist land, their slaughter is not lawful. The slaughter of disbelievers is not lawful in general, except for the People of the Book, if they slaughter it according to the Sharia method. Yes.
