Those who sell sick animals to restaurant owners and kitchen owners: What is your guidance for them?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. Those who sell sick animals to restaurant owners and kitchen owners: What is your guidance for them, as this listener asks? May Allah reward you with good, Shaykh Salim?
Answer:
Selling sick animals that have been ritually slaughtered, whether to the general public or to kitchen owners, all of this is the forbidden deception that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade and issued a warning against. He said, "Whoever deceives us is not one of us." This is a clear defect and a great harm to people; it may cause illnesses among them. Therefore, this deception and trickery is not permissible. It is not permissible to sell the meat of sick or diseased animals as if it were healthy and sound, whether the butchers sell it to people in the meat markets and display it there, or sell it to restaurant owners for people to eat without knowing. This is forbidden deception and consuming the wealth of people by right. This is an evil, and it is obligatory to discipline whoever does it.
