Question:
He says: I am a person who seeks out what is lawful in food, especially imported meats.
Answer:
Yes, seeking out what is lawful is good, but excessive doubt is waswas (whispers of Satan). However, if the doubt has a basis and a place, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Bulugh al-Maram 16:32 Avoiding doubtful matters is certainly good. So if a meat, such as imported chicken from abroad, is doubtful to you, it is best to avoid it without a doubt, because it is doubtful. But if it is slaughtered in the country, then what is slaughtered in the land of Muslims is lawful by default, and praise be to Allah. Yes.

Answer:
Yes, seeking out what is lawful is good, but excessive doubt is waswas (whispers of Satan). However, if the doubt has a basis and a place, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
So he, who saves himself from these doubtful things, saves his religion and his honor (i.e. keeps them blameless). And he who indulges in these doubtful things is like a shepherd who pastures (his animals) near the Hima (private pasture) of someone else and at any moment he is liable to get in it.
من ترك الشبهات فقد استبرأ لدينه وعرضه، ومن وقع في الشبهات وقع في الحرام كالراعي يرعى حول الحمى يوشك أن يقع فيه،
