Question

I live in jeddah and most of the food are imported like chicken beef etc. but on the label its written halaal. Most say it is haraam from brazil. So what is your opinion? Should I eat these frozen chicken like Mc Donlads, KFC, Pizza hut?

Answer

Don’t eat that regarding which you have doubts.

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