Eating imported meats from the lands of disbelievers

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on eating what is called imported meats from the lands of disbelievers?

Answer:
By Allah, it is better for you to leave it. However, it is not forbidden if it comes from the lands of the People of the Book, from the lands of the People of the Book, whether Jews or Christians, and they slaughter it according to the Shari'ah method. Then eat it, for Allah has permitted us their slaughtered animals. But if it is from non-Book lands, i.e., polytheist lands, then it is not permissible to eat their slaughtered animals. Yes.
