The Ruling on the Certification of Islamic Authorities Regarding the Slaughter of Imported Meats
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He suggests that the book not be printed until after the meeting between him and him.
The questioner : If Allah wills, and with mutual advice, if Allah wills. Shaykh Hasan, please go ahead. A few days ago, a daily newspaper published a statement from him here. It was a response to the Minister of Supply, who is a Christian, of course, regarding his question about the permissibility of imported meats. He stated in the newspaper that they do not accept meat unless it comes with a certificate from the Islamic authority in that country confirming and clarifying that it was slaughtered according to halal slaughter. What is your opinion of this statement?
The Shaykh : Thinking honestly. They send him certificates like that regarding the quantities.
The questioner : Yes.
The Shaykh : What is its value? And they do this in every country, claiming the same thing.
The questioner : Just as they sent [someone] for the fish. May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : In the state, they say that after the endowments here, did you do what you have no news of? If Allah wills, they sent a committee, yes, and they supervised the slaughter there and found it according to the Islamic map. Therefore, the people should prepare regarding the slaughtering or the truth that it did not begin, and the followers do not find it. First, it needs committees, and the committees should be popular. I wanted it from the government because the government knows how it is eaten.
The questioner : Go.
The Shaykh : No, they will send employees to support the state's policy and testify, and in their testimony, they are either liars or they are among the foolish. And the best of them, as they say, is passing by. Why? Because they will stage a show there, and they will see that they are suffering, and they will say, "By Allah, we will see." Why don't I tell you? I am a man who did one thing and disappeared, and returned after a month?
The questioner : Father.
The Shaykh : And you disappear, return a third and fourth time, and so on. And this is by prior agreement between the two states. So that it does not become, yes. There is no god but Allah.
