Is the food of the Majus permissible?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to eat with the people of the Majus? Is it permissible to eat their food, food that does not involve a slaughtered animal, but rather grains or fruits? Is there no harm in that?
Answer:
It is permissible to eat from anyone. As for slaughtered animals, one does not eat them except the slaughter of the People of the Book only. Anything else is carrion. The slaughter of the mushrikin (those who associate partners with Allah), the disbelievers, and the apostates is carrion.
