Eating imported meats labeled as Halal
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The other question asks: Is it permissible to eat imported meats that are labeled as having been slaughtered in the Islamic manner, or labeled with the word Halal?
Answer:
By Allah, the least of its states is that it is a doubtful matter, even though it is more likely than not that it was not slaughtered according to the Shari'ah, because they are factories, large factories with many animals. How can they slaughter each one individually? It is difficult. Yes, it is more likely than not that it is slaughtered by mechanical means. Also, many reports state that they stun them with electricity, many reports state that they submerge them in hot water, and many reports state that they do things to them that cause them to lose their life or make them like the dead. And because they cannot manage these large quantities by slaughtering them all individually, in any case, avoid them. Fear Allah regarding doubtful matters.Bulugh al-Maram 16:32 Yes.
