The Ruling on Eating the Slaughter of the Christians
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q: Is it permissible to eat the slaughter of the Christians in our present time? Given that they have multiple methods of slaughter, such as using machines and narcotic substances in the slaughter process?
A: It is permissible to eat their slaughter as long as one does not know that it was slaughtered in a manner other than the Shari'ah method; because the original ruling is that it is lawful, like the slaughter of a Muslim, due to the saying of Allah the Exalted: [Surat al-Ma'idah: 5].

and the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them
وَطَعَامُ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ حِلٌّ لَكُمْ وَطَعَامُكُمْ حِلٌّ لَهُمْ
