Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The fifth question of Fatwa No. ( 1997 )
Q5: Is it permissible for a Muslim to eat meat that has not been ritually slaughtered, which the Europeans sell, and which is carrion , even though we are able to buy chickens, rabbits, and sheep, and we have the ability to slaughter them?
A5: If the situation is as you described, that the meat of chickens, rabbits, sheep, and the like available to you is meat from animals that have not been ritually slaughtered and that it is
carrion, then it is not permissible for you, O Muslims, to eat from it except in a state of dire necessity that permits eating carrion. You mentioned in your question that you are able to slaughter what you need in accordance with the Shari'ah. So slaughter for yourselves in the prescribed manner and avoid meat of the kind described in the question, for it is an abomination. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
