The Ruling on the Slaughter of the Druze and the Nusayriyyah, and Eating from Their Food
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, he says: There are those who bring in Druze and Nusayriyyah workers and have them prepare food for Muslims. What is the ruling on this work, and what is the ruling on eating the food they prepare?
Answer:
As for food, if it consists of slaughtered animals, it is lawful only if the slaughter is lawful. The slaughter of the Nusayri, the Druze, and the Ja'fari is not valid because they are mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah); they worship graves and worship their imams besides Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and they hold beliefs that contradict the religion of Islam. Is their slaughter not lawful? However, if it is merely cooked food—rice, wheat, bread, or cooked dishes—this is permissible. Food that does not require a valid slaughter to be lawful is permissible, even if a non-Muslim cooked it. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you,
