Is it obligatory for us to ask the markets and restaurants in this country about the source of their meat, given that imported meat has become widespread?

Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, are we required to ask the Muslims here in this country, in their markets, restaurants, and homes, about the source of their meat, even though imported meat has become widespread, or do we eat from them without asking?

Answer:
As for imported meat, it is better that you avoid it as a precaution. As for meat that is slaughtered here, you do not need to ask about it. The default is that what is offered in the markets of Muslims is lawful, if Allah wills. However, for imported meat that is labeled as imported, it is better that you avoid it because it is doubtful. Yes.
