Is it obligatory for us to ask the restaurant owner if the chicken is imported or not?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner asks: Is it obligatory for us in this country to ask the restaurant owner if his chicken is domestic or imported, in order to avoid doubtful matters, or is the default ruling in that regard permissibility?

Answer:
The scholars say that it is slaughtered in the lands of the Muslims. What is slaughtered in the lands of the Muslims, the default ruling for it is permissibility. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about a group of people who bring slaughtered animals, and they do not know whether they mentioned the name of Allah over them or not? So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Mention the name of Allah and eat," meaning mention the name for the act of eating. As for the mention for the act of slaughter, the default for the Muslim is integrity and good opinion. So what is slaughtered in the lands of the Muslims is based on soundness, unless you know otherwise. As for what comes from the lands of the disbelievers, and doubts have circled around it that it is slaughtered by electric stunning or by means other than lawful slaughter, then it is better to leave it, and it is further from doubt. Yes.
