Ruling on eating the slaughter of one whose prayer status is unknown?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: In some cases, people gather for an occasion, and food is brought that includes meat, but it is not known whether the one who slaughtered it prays or not? Should we refrain from eating it for fear that the slaughterer does not pray, due to the prevalence of those who abandon prayer in a certain society, for example, or due to the prevalence of those who are lax about it? Please guide us, may Allah reward you with good.
A: If you are among Muslims, in the home of your Muslim brother in whom you suspect nothing but good, then eat what is served to you. Do not doubt your brother, and do not judge with bad suspicion. However, if you are in a society that does not pray, be cautious, or if you are in a disbelieving society, do not eat in their homes. Eat from fruits, dates, and the like of things that have no connection to the slaughter.
As for if you are among Muslims, or in a Muslim village, or in a Muslim environment, you must have good suspicion and leave off bad suspicion. And Allah is the One to be sought for help.
