Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Or the good slaughter of a man whose Islam we do not know. I mean the good slaughter, meaning the slaughter is good, but the man is a disbeliever; we do not know of his Islam. Is the slaughter of a disbeliever accepted with the disbelievers? As for a good slaughter, it comes as a good slaughter.
The Shaykh:
The believer should be cautious regarding his religion. The believer should be cautious; if he is in doubt about his Islam, he does not use him for slaughter. He uses a Muslim, or one from the People of the Book who is known, as for the one in whom there is doubt whether he is an apostate or a Muslim.
The questioner:
He does not know who he is.
The Shaykh:
He is tested. He is asked: Is he a Muslim? Does he testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah? Is he with the Muslims? Or has he apostatized from his religion? Before he is entrusted with the slaughter.
The questioner:
They have fallen into two states of illness among the people, and in his provision and his reliance, as for erasing it, it is possible that it is apostasy.
The Shaykh:
I do not know, or I do not know, yes.
The questioner:
We know that this external chicken and external meat is slaughtered according to the communist method, not according to the gradual method. Where is al-Halabi?
The Shaykh:
Perhaps you do not eat it, you see, at that time. Perhaps you slaughtered it in a communist way, do not eat it, or if it is Zoroastrian or polytheistic, it is forbidden, it is forbidden for him. But if it is slaughtered by a Jew or a Christian, it is lawful. Yes.
The questioner:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The Shaykh:
Yes. Hmm.
