The questioner : Regarding the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): This hadith is about those who are Muslims, because Aisha said they were recent converts from disbelief, meaning they were Muslims. But as for food that comes from people who are known to be disbelievers, how can we not ask and say, "We name [Allah]"?
The Shaykh : Did the Messenger ask when the Jewish woman sent him a sheep, did she name [Allah] over it or not? I am asking you.
The questioner : He did not ask her.
The Shaykh : He did not ask her, so this is the same thing.
The questioner : But these people, O Shaykh, we know that they do not say "In the name of Allah"; they say "In the name of the Messiah."
The Shaykh : You do not know. If you know, do not eat. If you know that they slaughter in the name of other than Allah, do not eat.
The questioner : Meaning, in the name of the cross or the Messiah.
The Shaykh : The one who is always [saying it], in the name of other than Allah, do not eat from it, no matter who it is, even if he is a Muslim, do not eat from it.
Mention the name of Allah and eat
