The ruling on the slaughter of the Christians in the name of Christ or the church
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
If it is the custom of the Christians to slaughter in the name of Christ or in the name of the church, is their slaughter to be eaten? May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
If it belongs to the Messiah or the church, no. If it is slaughtered, except for the fifth, if it is slaughtered for other than Allah, it is not to be eaten, because He said: "And what is dedicated to other than Allah," and He mentioned therein the things that are forbidden. Yes.
The questioner:
And what they slaughter during their festivals; I say, if they slaughter during their festivals.
The Shaykh:
Likewise, it is not to be taken, because he slaughters here for the festival of Christ.
