Food of the Jews

Q 2: Does the food of the Jews, which is Halal (lawful) in Islam, include the meat of slaughtered animals?

A: Yes, the food of the Jews which is made Halal by Allah (Exalted be He) to Muslims includes the meat of slaughtered animals, birds, and the like, provided that they mention the Name of Allah when they slaughter, meet the other recognized conditions of slaughtering, and there is no impediment to this. (Part No. 22; Page No. 408) This is based on the general ruling implied in Allah's Saying: Made lawful to you this day are At-Tayyibât [all kinds of Halâl (lawful) foods, which Allâh has made lawful (meat of slaughtered eatable animals, milk products, fats, vegetables and fruits)]. The food (slaughtered cattle, eatable animals) of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) is lawful to you May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
