Ruling on eating frozen local chicken
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What is the ruling on eating local chicken for one who does not know how it was slaughtered?
It is established in Sahih al-Bukhari from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): (That a group of people came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "A group of people brings us meat, and we do not know whether they mentioned the name of Allah over it or not?He said: You mention the name yourselves and eat it.
She said: And they were recent converts from disbelief," meaning: they had not embraced Islam until just now, and they did not know whether they would mention the name or not?So he said: (Mention the name yourselves and eat it), so he permitted eating it, even though we did not know whether the name was mentioned over it or not? Likewise, eating is also permissible if we do not know whether it was slaughtered in a sound manner or not;Because the rule states: (When an action is performed by its people, the original ruling is its validity and effectiveness) The original ruling is that it is valid and effective unless there is evidence to the contrary. If it is brought to us slaughtered by a Muslim or by a Jew or a Christian, we do not ask about it,So we do not say: How was it slaughtered?! Or whether the name was mentioned over it or not?! It is lawful as long as there is no clear evidence that it is forbidden, and this is part of Allah's facilitation, otherwise it would be a problem,Whenever a slaughtered animal is presented to us, we ask: Who slaughtered it? So-and-so.
Does he pray or not? He prays.
Did he mention the name or not? He mentioned the name.
Did he drain the blood or not? This is problematic; but among Allah's (Glorified and Exalted is He) facilitations is that the action performed by its people, the original ruling is its validity and effectiveness unless there is evidence to the contrary.
And since this question is about eating chicken, I add to it eating meat as well, so let it be the last question; because lunch is also approaching, and eating is near, if Allah wills.
And I ask Allah to fill our hearts with knowledge and faith, and to make us self-sufficient by His grace from anyone other than Him.
And we entrust you to Allah until another meeting.
And peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
