Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: In France, some animals are slaughtered according to the Shari'ah method, and some are stunned with electricity. He says there are companies that send an observer to verify the method of slaughter. Some declare the meat halal, and some say it is not. If we find meat, what do we do? Is it necessary to ask about it?
Answer:
There is no doubt that verifying and confirming is a required matter. So ask about this chicken: where is it imported from? If it is imported from electric stunning, it is forbidden; if it is imported from Shari'ah slaughter, it is lawful. Yes.
