The ruling on eating imported chicken labeled as halal
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on eating chicken that is slaughtered outside this country and has the word "halal" written on it?
Answer:
By Allah, it is better if you eat from what is slaughtered in the country rather than from imported meat, or if you slaughter it yourself. Or, the good and conscientious people should have a place where they slaughter, or a market where the meat is slaughtered, and they should verify the slaughter. The important thing is that they themselves, as much as they are able, ensure this.
