Ruling on the frozen meat sold in markets that has been slaughtered abroad

Q 3: What is the ruling on the meat slaughtered in non-Muslim countries which is available in the markets? Is it permissible to eat from it or not?

A: If the person who slaughters the animals or birds is not of the People of the Book, such as the people of Russia, Bulgaria and such countries, it will be impermissible to eat the animals slaughtered by them, whether they mention Allah's Name on them or not. The original ruling is the permissibility of eating the animals slaughtered by Muslims only, and the animals slaughtered by the People of the Book are excluded according to the text. If the animal is slaughtered by one of the People of the Book (the Jews or Christians), if they slaughter it from the neck while it is alive and mention Allah's Name, it is unanimously agreed that it will be permissible to eat, according to Allah's saying, The food (slaughtered cattle, eatable animals) of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) is lawful to you However, (Part No. 22; Page No. 421) if they do not mention Allah's Name or any other name on purpose, there is controversy over the permissibility of eating it. If any name is mentioned other than Allah's, it will be impermissible to eat, and it is considered carrion, according to Allah's saying, Eat not (O believers) of that (meat) on which Allâh’s Name has not been pronounced (at the time of the slaughtering of the animal), for sure it is Fisq (a sin and disobedience of Allâh). If it is shot with a pistol or shocked by electricity, it will be considered blown, even if its neck is cut later. This is prohibited in Allah's saying, Forbidden to you (for food) are: Al-Maitah (the dead animals - cattle - beast not slaughtered), blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which Allâh’s Name has not been mentioned while slaughtering, (that which has been slaughtered as a sacrifice for others than Allâh, or has been slaughtered for idols) and that which has been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow However, if it is caught while still alive, after being beaten on the head, and slaughtered, it will be permissible to eat, according to Allah's saying at the end of the Ayah (Qur'anic verse), ...and that which has been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by the goring of horns, and that which has been (partly) eaten by a wild animal What is slaughtered alive is excluded from the prohibition, because slaughtering has no effect on dead animals.As for strangled animals or those who are shocked by electricity, it is unanimously agreed that it is impermissible to eat, even if Allah's Name is mentioned on it at the time of killing or at the time of eating. The saying of the Prophet (peace be upon him), Mention (Part No. 22; Page No. 422) Allah's Name and eat. Was about the animals slaughtered by people who have recently embraced Islam, and it was not known whether they mentioned Allah's Name while slaughtering them or not. So, the Prophet (peace be upon him) asked the Muslims who were in doubt to do their part, which is mentioning Allah's Name before eating, and assume that the people who slaughtered the animals had mentioned Allah's Name as Muslims do.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
