The Ruling on Eating Imported Meats

The questioner:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling on eating imported meat, given that they say it is slaughtered in a manner that is not in accordance with the Shari'ah?

The Shaykh:
Avoid it, my brother, and praise be to Allah. The meat slaughtered among us is abundant and sufficient for our needs, praise be to Allah. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.

The Shaykh:
If you are in a foreign country, leave it and eat fish or whatever is necessary for you. Eat food, eat vegetables, and so on. As a precaution for your religion, leave what causes doubt for what does not cause doubt. Yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you. The questioner asks: Who deceived you?

The Shaykh:
Even though, praise be to Allah, there are Muslim communities in foreign countries with Muslim minorities who slaughter for them in Muslim slaughterhouses and markets. Muslims slaughter there. Ask about them; they have independent markets. Go to them and buy from them. Yes.
