Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: I have a worker on my farm, and he is a non-Muslim worker. Is it permissible for me to eat from his food and what he grows with his own hands?

Answer:
Foods are permissible; these foods—grains, fruits, and vegetables—are permissible for both the Muslim and the non-Muslim. As for slaughtered animals, you do not eat anything except the slaughter of a Muslim or the slaughter of a People of the Book, from the Jews or the Christians. As for the polytheists, you do not eat their slaughtered animals. Yes.
