The Ruling on Meats Displayed in Muslim Markets

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And other than that, the Shaykh is now saying that in the markets there are meats from the production of companies in these lands. Is this permissible, because some people say that it was slaughtered abroad and then brought here?

Answer:
No. The default regarding what is brought into Muslim markets, on the basis that it is from the slaughter of Muslims, is that it is lawful. The default is that it is lawful. And if it is established for you that these meats contain something in which the conditions of lawful slaughter (dhakah) were not met, then leave it. As for what is merely a suspicion or doubts, what is displayed in Muslim markets and slaughtered in Muslim lands, the default is that it is lawful. Praise be to Allah. Yes.
