A student's comment on the brother who asked how we eat the meat that comes to us from abroad, stating that the Jews and Christians respect Muslims in

The questioner : Oh Shaykh, I want to comment on the question of the brother who was saying, for example, that it is sufficient, meaning the meat that comes to us from abroad... As for these Jews and Christians, for example, they respect Muslims in many transactions, especially in transactions related to slaughter and eating. For example, if you go to European countries, in any restaurant you enter, they do not place pork and mutton in the same place. For instance, one day in Rome, I came and took many layers, and I placed them on a table. Among the layers I took was pork. A man came running and took that layer. I asked him why? He said, this is pork. Many of the restaurants there write down the meats they have and distinguish them. And if they see you, because a Muslim has a distinct appearance, if they see you, they know you are a Muslim. Even the cup you drink from is not among the cups from which they drink wine; they take it from another place. Therefore, we see that even now, the Brazilians, whose customers export it abroad, do so in the Islamic manner. And on planes in international flights, they never bring you pork or any meat; it is slaughtered according to the Shari'ah, which we can take.

The Shaykh : Yes, indeed. In any case, as we said, first, as long as it has been sent to us from the People of the Book, we do not ask; the original ruling is permissibility.
