Imported Chicken from European and Islamic Countries

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah reward you. Some Muslims observe the movements of the chicken industry, which is imported from some European countries, where it is said to be fed on food and some meat. And some meat is imported from some Islamic countries, which are said to have some deviant sects. So please provide a clarification.

Answer:
May Allah reward you. Scrupulousness and caution are the best course of action when there is doubt. A person should eat from the slaughter of his own country, from the slaughter of this country, and praise be to Allah, domestic meats are now abundant in various types. So a person eats from the chicken of the country and the slaughters of the country, and there is sufficiency in that, if Allah wills. And scrupulousness regarding what contains a doubtful matter is undoubtedly part of the religion.
Whoever avoids doubtful mattersمن استبرا من
So he, who saves himself from these doubtful things, saves his religion and his honorفمن ترك الشبهات فقد استبرا لدينه وعرضه
Bulugh al-Maram 16:32
Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt.دع ما يريبك الى ما لا يريبك
Sunan an-Nasa'i 5711Sahih (Darussalam)
Yes. As for saying that it is forbidden, meaning we assert that it is forbidden, that requires knowing the method of slaughter in those countries, who slaughtered it, and knowing the causes of prohibition. We do not assert that it is forbidden except by knowing the causes of it being forbidden. Yes, but we say that scrupulousness and caution are better. Yes.
