The Christians' argument for eating all meats, even if the name of Allah is not mentioned over them, is that 'Isa (peace be upon him) used to eat everything.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The Christians' argument for eating all meats, even if the name of Allah is not mentioned over them, is that 'Isa (peace be upon him) used to eat everything...?

The Shaykh : That is, you are saying that it is permissible to eat pork, for example?

The questioner : They say something like this.

The Shaykh : They eat pork; that is not our concern. But Allah has explicitly forbidden pork, so it is forbidden in itself, not because it was not slaughtered according to the prescribed method.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : This is not correct; this is a claim. In the Noble Qur'an:
to make lawful for you some of what was forbidden to you ولأحلّ لكم بعض الذي حُرّم عليكم
[Ali 'Imran 3:50]
, and the other part remains forbidden.
