Is it permissible to eat food cooked by a non-Muslim woman?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: My mother is not Muslim, and she cooks in the house. He says: We do not cook pork. Is it permissible for us to use the utensils in my mother's house?

The Shaykh:
Which utensils?

The questioner:
He says: She cooks in the house and does not cook pork.

The Shaykh:
Cooking by a disbeliever is permissible, unless he is cooking something forbidden, in which case it is not permissible. As for merely cooking meat, merely cooking food, coffee, or tea, there is nothing wrong with that, whether by a disbeliever or a Muslim. Yes.
