Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: If a Muslim is residing in a land of disbelief and buys meat from a Muslim butcher, is he required to ask about the method of slaughter and whether the slaughtered animals are lawful, or does he follow the principle that the default is that they are lawful?
Answer:
As long as the one selling is a Muslim, as long as the one selling is a Muslim and he is the one who slaughters, he eats from his slaughter. However, if this Muslim is selling from the slaughter of the people of the land, then he must ask; it is necessary that he ask. If he is selling from the slaughter of the disbelievers, from the slaughter of the people of the land, he asks. But if the one slaughtering is a Muslim, or if he is certain that a People of the Book slaughtered it according to the Shari'ah method, then he eats from it. Yes.
