The Ruling on Eating Meat in Western Countries
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: I am a young man studying in a Western country. Is it permissible for me to eat from its meats? I ask for clarification on this matter. May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has made permissible for us the slaughter of the People of the Book, the Jews and the Christians. If you know that the animal was slaughtered according to the Shari'ah method, you may take from it. If you do not know, and the people now, out of fear of companies and factories, do not slaughter according to the Shari'ah method but rather by other means, such as electric shock, hot water, and the like, then this is not lawful and is not permissible. Being scrupulous and avoiding much of what is doubtful is better for you. Eat from what Muslims have slaughtered or what the People of the Book have slaughtered according to the Shari'ah method.
