Q: Is it permissible to eat the flesh of animals slaughtered by the Christians at our current time? It is worth mentioning that they use many methods for slaughtering, such as using the machines and anesthetics.
A: It is permissible to eat the flesh of the animals slaughtered by them unless you know that the animals are not slaughtered in the manner prescribed by Shari'ah (Islamic law). The basic ruling is that they are as lawful as the animals slaughtered by Muslims. Allah (Exalted be He) says, The food (slaughtered cattle, eatable animals) of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) is lawful to you and yours is lawful to them.
