Meat of animals slaughtered by the Ahle-kitaab

Question

Is it ok to eat meat slaughtered by current Christians and Jews or those who believed during prophet time?

Answer

Contemporary Jews and Christians are just Jews and Christians by name. Most of them don't believe in their own scriptures. Hence, they are unbelievers, and the slaughtering of an unbeliever is impermissible. For further details refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/12196

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
