Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Your Eminence, what is the ruling on eating, for example, from the hand of a butcher or a slaughterer, if he is cutting the meat and I heard with my own ears him joking with his friend using words of disbelief? I know that some Muslim communities have this habit of constant joking with words that insult the religion or insult it. I want to eat from his hand, so should I refuse the meat?
The Shaykh : And how do you eat from his hand?
The questioner : I mean, you asked for a kilo or two kilos of meat, and you heard him joking with his friend with words, may Allah protect us from that...
The Shaykh : Disbelief.
The questioner : Disbelief, yes. Knowing that he did not intend it, and he is accustomed to this speech, should I refuse the meat?
The Shaykh : Did he slaughter it, or did someone else?
The questioner : No, he said he cuts the meat; he is a butcher.
The Shaykh : But did he slaughter it?
The questioner : ... He ...
The Shaykh : It is all fine with you.
