Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Regarding our situation there in Azerbaijan.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : It is known that the republic is an Islamic republic, but there is fear regarding their slaughter. Is it permissible for us to eat from their slaughtered animals?
The Shaykh : Who do you mean, my brother?
The questioner : Azerbaijan.
The Shaykh : No, that is a general statement, and we do not answer it. What about Azerbaijan? Who is the one who slaughters? Is it a Muslim or a disbeliever?
The questioner : I do not know.
The Shaykh : If you do not know, and you are a son of your country, then I know.
The questioner : It is known there, meaning the butchers, meaning those who slaughter, for example, are Shi'ah. Is it permissible?
The Shaykh : If the one slaughtering is a Shi'ite, then here is my point: I think you were not present from the beginning. Is it permissible to declare the Shi'ah disbelievers as a whole? "In a lump"? We say: No. If you know of a Shi'ite who, for example, says that this Qur'an in our hands is a quarter of the Qur'an, and the rest is the lost, missing Mus'haf of Fatimah! This is undoubtedly a disbeliever who has apostatized from his religion, because he denies what is known from the religion by necessity. But if you know of a Shi'ite who permits mut'ah, which is forbidden as it came in the authentic hadith until the Day of Resurrection, but unfortunately, some of the imams of the Sunnah used to say it was permissible, whether it was mut'ah of marriage or mut'ah of Hajj, and both have been prohibited authentically—excuse me—mut'ah of Hajj: the command for it came, and some of the Salaf prohibited it, whereas mut'ah of marriage: the Lawgiver prohibited it, but the prohibition did not reach some of the imams, so they held it permissible. Therefore, we do not declare the Shi'ah disbelievers in general because they permit mut'ah, and this permission is undoubtedly part of their misguidance. But the question now is: Are they declared disbelievers for it or not? The answer is: No, except after the proof is established. In summary: If the Shi'ah among you declare something of explicit disbelief, then it is undoubtedly not permissible to eat their slaughter; otherwise, it is permissible until the truth becomes clear to you. Anything else.
The questioner: Question.
The Shaykh : The last one, yes. And upon you be peace, the mercy of Allah, and His blessings. Welcome.
The Shaykh: Yes.
