The questioner : Shaykh, in Kuwait, we have the Cooperative Societies Union. They went to some European countries and found that the slaughter is not according to the Islamic Shari'ah, such as some French chicken, for example. What is the ruling?
The Shaykh : Is the one slaughtered there the one that is returned to the Islamic countries?
The questioner : Yes, they wrote "halal" on the chicken.
The Shaykh : Yes, we have seen and read that. But now there is a problem with the permissibility. Is the one they slaughter in a manner other than the Islamic way the one that is returned to the Islamic countries, or is it returned to other countries?
The questioner : It is the one that is returned. First, the cooperative societies are the ones who buy this.
The Shaykh : But did they inform them that it is not valid? How? Did the cooperative society inform the butchers there that this is not valid?
The questioner : Yes, they informed them, or did they not inform them? They slaughter in their own way.
The Shaykh : Absolutely not. If the companies were told to slaughter in the Islamic way ten times, they would slaughter, because of the profit. That is, if they were told, "Either slaughter in the Islamic way or we will cut off our dealings with you," they would slaughter.
