What is the ruling on eating imported meats and Turkish chicken?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The question that follows?
The questioner : Peace be upon you and Allah's mercy.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah.
The questioner : What is the ruling on eating imported meats, whether chicken, Turkish meat, or others? Please inform us, may Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : What we see is that imported meats are lawful, because the Council of Senior Scholars, I think two years ago or more, brought in the ministry agents—the Ministry of Commerce—and discussed the matter with them. They said that what is brought into the Kingdom is monitored and there is no problem with it. And this is the assumption that nothing will be brought into this country except what is lawful. So we see that there is nothing wrong with it. However, the person who says, "I will be scrupulous because there is a doubtful matter in it for me," we do not oblige him to eat it. Yes, that is correct.
