Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, some young people are hesitant to eat in restaurants. He says: Because they have imported chicken, and it is not slaughtered in the Islamic manner. So if he enters a restaurant here, he asks about the chicken: is it imported or local? Is this action correct?
Answer:
Yes, this is a correct action as long as there is doubt. Leave what causes you doubt for what does not cause you doubt. Whoever avoids doubtful matters has protected his religion and his honor. Yes.
