The Ruling on Eating Imported Meats

Question:
The brother Mus'ad also asks and says: Is there any doubt regarding the prohibition of imported chicken and imported meats from abroad, or not? Knowing that I have a doubt about them and I dislike eating them, please issue a ruling for us, may Allah reward you with good, despite the fact that "slaughtered in the Islamic manner" is written on them?

Answer:
Imported meats fall into two categories. If they are imported from the lands of the People of the Book, the Christians or the Jews, and something comes from their lands, it is lawful for us, because Allah has made lawful for us the food of the People of the Book. So whatever is imported from their food is lawful for us, unless we know with certainty that it is prohibited because it was slaughtered in a manner contrary to the Shari'ah, such as by strangulation. As for if we do not know, the default is that it is lawful for us. And these lands, praise be to Allah, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the authorities responsible for its affairs take care that nothing is brought into it except what is sound. So whatever is brought into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia from the lands of the Christians is a matter that has been attended to, and the default is that it is lawful and permissible, unless you know that this item came from so-and-so or from such-and-such a company that slaughters in a manner contrary to the Shari'ah. If you know this with certainty, do not eat from it. And if it is easy for you to slaughter for yourself from what Allah has given you of chickens and others, that is better and purer, and praise be to Allah. Yes. May Allah bless you.
