Prohibiting the eating of chicken meat and making it a matter of loyalty and disavowal
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: I found a group in these days that forbids eating chicken meat, even if it is produced in the country and slaughtered in this country. In fact, they have made this matter a matter of loyalty and disavowal (al-wala' wa al-bara'), such that the one who eats it is not with them, and the one who does not eat it is with them. What is the ruling on this action?
Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Al-Ma'idah 5:87] Is it not permissible to forbid what is lawful? The chicken that is slaughtered in this country is lawful, and the animals slaughtered in the country are lawful, because it is the land of the Muslims. So it is not permissible for anyone to forbid them. Yes.

Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
O you who have believed, do not prohibit the good things which Allah has made lawful to you and do not transgress. Indeed, Allah does not like transgressors.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لَا تُحَرِّمُوا طَيِّبَاتِ مَا أَحَلَّ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَلَا تَعْتَدُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ
