Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it obligatory for us to ask about meat whether it is halal or haram?

The Shaykh : I mean, for example, the slaughtered animal, or what? Yes.
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : What is it?
The student: ... .

The Shaykh : As for the Kingdom, what I know is that nothing enters it except what is known to be from the halal. As for other places, I do not know. And if it is known to be from the halal, do not ask, for in Sahih al-Bukhari, from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), it is narrated:
That a group of people came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah, a group of people 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." أن قوما أتوا إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وقالوا يا رسول الله إن قوما يأتوننا باللحم لا ندري أذكروا اسم الله عليه أم لا ؟ فقال : سموا أنتم وكلوا . قالت : وكانوا حديثي عهد بكفر
. Yes.
