Ruling on Buying Imported Chicken
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Regarding imported chicken, there has been a lot of talk about it. If a person is compelled to buy from restaurants, is it permissible for him to ask, or to buy without asking?
By Allah! The best is to eat without asking.
And the evidence for this is that it is established in Sahih al-Bukhari, may Allah have mercy on him, that Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said: (A group of people came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: O Messenger of Allah! There are people who bring us meat, and we do not know whether they mentioned the name of Allah over it or not! He said: Mention the name yourselves and eat,She said: and they were recent converts from disbelief) meaning: their Islam was recent, they might be ignorant of many of the rulings of Islam, and yet the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, said: (Mention the name yourselves and eat) and he did not order them to ask; rather, the apparent meaning of the hadith is that it is prescribed that we do not ask them,And if we were to burden ourselves with such matters, we would say: even the meat we have now that is slaughtered needs to be looked at: who slaughtered it? It might be from someone who does not pray, it might be from someone who has a major religious innovation that makes his slaughter impermissible, so for this reason, if meat is placed before you in an Islamic country, the original ruling is that it is slaughtered according to the way of Islam; eat;But mention the name of Allah as the Messenger said: (Mention the name yourselves and eat) .
