Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is my abstention from eating imported meat, out of fear that it was not slaughtered in the Islamic manner, considered a form of obsessive doubt, or is it a form of avoiding doubtful matters?
Answer:
Selecting out doubtful matters involves uncertainty, because they do not perform the Islamic slaughter. They perform a collective slaughter, or they slaughter with hot water and then cut off the heads after the animals have died. All of this is reported about them, so it is doubtful. Therefore, your abstention from it is a form of avoiding the doubtful. Yes.
