Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: We live in a land where there are many Jews and Christians. Is it permissible for us to eat their slaughtered animals?

Answer:
If they slaughter according to the Shari'ah method, yes, eat them. This is something Allah has made lawful, the food of
those who were given the Scriptureالَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ
[Al-Bayyinah 98:4]
, meaning their slaughtered animals,
and the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for youوَطَعَامُ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ حِلٌّ لَّكُمْ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:5]
. If they slaughter according to the Shari'ah method, their slaughtered animals are lawful, just like the slaughtered animals of Muslims. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
