Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: If you are present at the slaughter of the People of the Book and they mention the name of Christ during the slaughter, is it permissible for me to eat from this slaughtered animal?
Answer:
He has made it permissible, and He knows that they say this. As long as Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) has made it permissible, then these are the slaughters of the People of the Book, and they are to be eaten. And if you leave it, that is from the perspective of disliking it and from the perspective of being scrupulous, and that is for you. Yes, but what you say is forbidden, while Allah says it is lawful[Al-Ma'idah 5:5], and you say it is forbidden. Yes.
