Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on eating imported meat?
Answer:
If it is imported from non-people of the Book, it is not permissible by consensus. The meat of the Zaydiyyah, the communists, the polytheists, the Buddhists, the Hindus, and other polytheists is not permissible by consensus. However, if it is from the People of the Book, such as the Jews and the Christians, it is permissible on the condition that they slaughter it according to the Shari'ah method. If they slaughter it by a method other than the Shari'ah method, it is not permissible either, such as if they slaughter it by strangulation, by electric shock, or by hot water. If the slaughter is not according to the Shari'ah method, it is not permissible, whether it is from a Muslim or from a person of the Book. Yes.
