The ruling on eating imported chicken from the lands of the Christians

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on eating chicken imported from the lands of the Christians, when we do not know whether it was slaughtered with a knife or by electric shock?

Answer:
By Allah, this is a difficult issue, and the solution and the precaution here is to eat local chicken. Eat local chicken, and it is abundant, praise be to Allah. Leave the imported chicken, for its least state is that it is doubtful. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
So he, who saves himself from these doubtful things, saves his religion and his honorمن اتقى الشبهات فقد استبرأ لدينه وعرضه
Bulugh al-Maram 16:32
, and the alternative is available, praise be to Allah. Local chicken is abundant. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
