The Ruling on the Slaughter of the Druze and the Nusayriyyah, and Eating from Their Food
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The Honorable Shaykh says: There are those who bring in Druze and Nusayris and have them work in preparing food for Muslims. What is the ruling on this work, and what is the ruling on eating the food they prepare?
Answer:
If the food consists of slaughtered animals, it is not permissible. The slaughter of a Nusayri or a Druzi is not valid, nor is the slaughter of a Ja'fari valid, because they are mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah) who worship graves and worship their imams instead of the religion of Allah the Exalted. They hold beliefs that contradict the religion of Islam, so their slaughter is not valid. However, if it is merely cooked food, such as rice, wheat, bread, or cooked dishes, this is permissible. Food that does not require zakah is permissible, even if a non-Muslim prepared it. Yes.
