What is the ruling on eating imported chicken?

The questioner : The questioner asks: What is the ruling on taking imported chicken from its news?

The Shaykh : There has been much talk and much writing about this imported meat. Undoubtedly, Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, has made lawful the food of Muslims, meaning what Muslims have slaughtered, and He has made lawful the food of the People of the Book, meaning what the People of the Book have slaughtered. Allah the Exalted said: It is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he ate from the food of a Jew, and it is established that he ate from the sheep that a Jewish woman gifted to him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not ask how they slaughtered it, nor did he ask whether they invoked the name of Allah upon it or not. Rather, he ate, which is the best course of action in accordance with the evidence. For if the evidence is general, it must be taken in its generality. Just as we also, regarding what Muslims have slaughtered, cannot know whether they invoked the name of Allah upon it or not, yet we still eat it. In Sahih al-Bukhari, from the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), it is narrated that a group of people came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, there are people from the People of the Book who come to us with meat, and we do not know whether they mentioned the name of Allah upon it or not? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Even though these people were recent converts from disbelief, and those recent from disbelief do not know the rulings of Islam or the rulings of lawful slaughter, yet the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So the food of these People of the Book is lawful for us.
We are not required to ask how they slaughtered it, nor are we required to ask whether they invoked the name or not. Because our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who was the most God-fearing of people, the most fearful of Allah, and the most knowledgeable of what they should fear, did not ask them how they slaughtered it, nor did he ask whether they invoked the name or not.
However, because the talk around this imported meat has increased, and that it is slaughtered by strangulation and electric shock, and it is not slaughtered in a way that reveals its status, a problem has arisen for the person regarding this. We continue to find this matter problematic, and we say that it is better to avoid these meats and abstain from them. What is in our hands from what Muslims have slaughtered is sufficient. A person should be scrupulous and stay away from what contains a doubtful matter. For the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says: , . So it is better for the Muslim to stay away from what contains a doubtful matter, and to avoid things in which he fears he may fall into what is forbidden. But prohibition and praise require evidence that a person can use to face his Lord, saying: I have prevented Your servants from this because You said so, or because Your Prophet said so.
Among the important matters in which thorough investigation is required, so that people are clear about the matter.
