The ruling on eating meat imported from lands of disbelief

Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on eating meat that comes from lands of disbelief?

Answer:
Allah, Glorious and Exalted is He, you are elevating yourselves above what has not yet come, but Allah, Glorious and Exalted is He, has permitted us the food of the People of the Book, which is their slaughtered animals, the Jews and the Christians. Allah has permitted us their slaughtered animals . The food referred to here is the slaughtered animals by scholarly consensus, because non-slaughtered items like grains and fruits are lawful from anyone; they are not specific to the People of the Book. But our discussion now is about the slaughtered animals . Just as Allah has permitted us their women, to marry them, on the condition that they are chaste, guarding themselves against unlawful sexual intercourse and having no illicit partners. But in our current time, the default is permissibility, but in our current time, meat factories have been established where the Islamic ritual slaughter is not performed. Instead, they bury the animal alive and it comes out canned by machines. Also, they sometimes stun it with electricity, or throw it into hot water until it dies. These are non-Islamic methods of slaughter that are not lawful, neither from the People of the Book nor from a Muslim, neither from the People of the Book nor from a Muslim. So from here, the doubt has arisen regarding imported meats, because most of it is of this type. However, if we are certain that these animals are slaughtered in the Islamic manner, whether the slaughterer is a Muslim or a person of the Book, this is lawful by scholarly consensus. But when these companies, meat factories, emerged, and they process animals and birds without slaughtering them, this creates a great doubt. In fact, it is almost certain that they are not slaughtered. Therefore, avoid it. And as for fish, if you are in lands of disbelievers, eat any fish that does not require slaughter. And if you do not find fish, and meat is not necessary, eat any food like rice or other food that does not require slaughter. Yes.
