The questioner : If a Muslim knows that the slaughtering of the People of the Book today is not according to the Islamic method, should he refrain from it and not inform the people?
The Shaykh : This is an important question. That is, if a person knows that this meat is forbidden because it is carrion, or because it was slaughtered by one whose slaughter is not permissible, or because it was not slaughtered according to the prescribed method, it is obligatory for him to inform them, and this is obligatory. The scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) mentioned such a case and said that it is obligatory for one who knows about impure water to inform the one who intends to use it. Is that clear? Likewise, if you see a person eating something harmful, you must inform him that it is harmful. This is part of giving advice.
