Publication of a book from Bulgaria signed by the Mufti of Muslims stating that this meat is slaughtered in the Islamic manner: Can it be relied upon given the existence of certificates?

The questioner : Regarding the same topic, a book from Bulgaria was mentioned, signed by the Mufti of Islam, stating that this meat is slaughtered in the Islamic manner. Can it be relied upon given the existence of certificates from some scholars?

The Shaykh : This falls under the category of accepting the testimony of a Muslim. Is the testimony of a Muslim accepted? Of course, this has headings in the books of hadith and fiqh. The testimony of a Muslim who is righteous and truthful is accepted. If these two qualities are present in him, his testimony is accepted. After that, if he lies or is mistaken, the error is upon him. Who is the Mufti of Bulgaria? Does anyone among you know him? I am closer to him than you are, since I am from Albania, meaning I do not know him, and thus none of you know him either. So we are left with the testimony of the others. If the testimony of the others is based on direct observation, we have no choice but to apply the previous rule. If their testimony is about the Mufti's testimony, then testimony upon testimony is not accepted. Please.

The questioner : ... The Mufti of the Kingdom, meaning ... some of the prohibited items ... regarding them ... are halal. It is written in a list that these are prohibited ... containing pork or pork. So what is your response to this?

The Shaykh : Even though the wording is in one way, the answer is one. That is, we do not need to discuss every detail. Take the principles and rules.
Yes.
