The Ruling on Eating Imported Meats

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on eating imported meat?

Answer:
The people of the revolution are from non-Scripture lands, and their meat is not permissible by consensus. The meat of the Zaydiyyah, the communists, the polytheists, and the Buddhists is not permissible by consensus. The meat of the Hindus and other polytheists is not permissible by consensus. However, if it comes from the People of the Book, the Jews and the Christians, it is permissible on the condition that they slaughter it according to the Shari'ah method. If they slaughter it by a method other than the Shari'ah method, it is not permissible either. If they slaughter it by strangulation, or by electric shock, or by hot water, the slaughter is not permissible if it is not done according to the Shari'ah method, whether it is from a Muslim or from a Person of the Book.
