Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Yes, I am certain. For example, here in America, a Muslim brother, so should I ask him if the meat he serves is slaughtered according to the halal method or what?
The Shaykh : Who served you the meat, a Muslim?
The questioner : Yes, a Muslim.
The Shaykh: Do you know him?
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : Do you know him to be committed to the rulings of the Shari'ah?
The questioner : He is committed, but in this matter, he does not care.
