Is the slaughter by the Ahlul Kitaab halaal?
Published as Eating the meat slaughtered by the Ahlul Kitaab
Question
Is the slaughter by the Ahlul Kitaab halaal? Some said to me that Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) used to eat the zabiha of the Yahood?
Answer
The Ahle Kitaab nowadays are far from the Ahle Kitaab of that era. Nowadays, many of them do not even believe in their scriptures. And those who believe, they do not recite the tasmiyah at the time of slaughter.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.

Is meat slaughtered by Christians or Jews halaal?
“In contemporary times there are Christians who are not real or there are those who did not kill the animals as they are supposed to be killed. Hence, it is difficult to say that their slaughtering is halaal.”
