The Ruling on Imported Chicken
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: What is the ruling on chicken meat that comes from abroad, having been slaughtered and frozen?
Answer: If the chicken slaughtered abroad, and other meats that arrive frozen, come from the lands of the People of the Book—and they are the Jews and the Christians—then it is lawful; because the food of the People of the Book is lawful for us by the explicit text of the Noble Qur'an, as long as one does not know a cause that makes it forbidden; such as it being dedicated to other than Allah, or slaughtered without cutting off the head. However, if it comes from the lands of the Zoroastrians, or the communists, or the socialists, or others of the polytheists, then it is forbidden and not permissible to eat.
