The Ruling on Eating from Imported Restaurant Meats
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Most of the meat found in restaurants, whether chicken or otherwise, comes from outside the Kingdom. What is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh, on eating from these restaurants when we do not know how they slaughtered it?
Answer:
By Allah, this is a doubtful matter, because the imported meat from outside, from meat companies, is known not to be slaughtered according to the lawful Islamic slaughter (dhakah); rather, it is processed through public slaughterhouses, where the animals enter alive and come out canned, or are killed by electric shock, or by a bullet if they are strong, and then cut up, or if they are birds, they are slaughtered in hot water. All of this is not the lawful Islamic slaughter, so avoiding it is undoubtedly safer and more purifying for the conscience. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
