The meat of Ahlul-Kitaab is HALAL according to Qur’aan but in the West due to employment lawas and regulations when you go down to your neighbourhood KFC of McDonalds you can’t be sure if the slaughterer was a Hindu, Atheist, Christian or a Devil worshipper.

This doubt renders the meat in the West at least the one which is being done by Christians impermissible because of the principle that all of the scholars of Fiqh have confirmed – either implicitly or explicitly –is that the default ruling of animals is that they are haram until it is confirmed that they have been slaughtered properly. And an-Nawawi said: (130) “This principle is a point of consensus between the scholars, and there is no dispute regarding it,” and he commented on the aforementioned hadith of ‘Adiyy bin Hatim that will be mentioned (if Allah Wills) by saying: “It shows an important principle, and this is that if there is any doubt regarding the method of slaughter of an animal, it is not allowed to eat it due to the fact that the default ruling is that it is forbidden, and there is no dispute on this.” (131)

Al-Kasani said: “Allah made an exception from the prohibited meats for the meat that is properly slaughtered, and the exception from the forbidden means that it is allowed, as prohibition of an animal is not removed except by slaughtering it correctly.”

Ibn Rajab said: (170) “As for what is by default forbidden, such as sexual relations and the meat of animals, these are not permissible unless it is certain that the proper
contract and proper slaughter has been performed, respectively.”

Ibn Qudamah said: (171) “The default is to avoid them, and their permissibility is tied to a condition, which is that they be slaughtered properly by those who are qualified to do so.”

And this is what Ibn Taymiyyah said in many places in his ‘Fatawa’: (172) “Sexual relations and slaughtered meat are not allowed when there is doubt as to their status.”

I’m afraid we are headind in the same direction, the Christian’s did, i.e. Bible according to Mark, Mathew, John and Luke, our’s is Quran according to Zaid, Omar, Bakar………..

Correct me please

Islam does not justify these acts. This is why I have chosen the path of veganism. Eating meat is not a pillar of Islam. Insh’Allah more Muslims will come to realize the suffering.
“Let there be among you a community who enjoin good and forbid evil; it is they that shall be successful” [3:104]. Also, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) condemed animal abuse and was merciful towards creatures. He said, “You will not have a secure faith until you love one another and have mercy on those who live upon the earth.” (Bukhari, Muslim, and Abu Dawud).

“…We have made animals subject to you, that ye may be grateful” (Al-Qur’an 22:36).

But cruelty tastes so good

Lets come to an agreement, whenever we have a dispute within ourselves let’s turn to our ultimate source, the Quran and the Prophet (pbuh) saying. Is everyone ok with that? I’m sorry I’m going to have to give salafis and sufis and all others fis the back seat on this because we are going to that which we all have in common, hope your all good with that.

Surah # 6: Al An-am, verse 118: “So eat of that which Allah’s name (meat) has been pronounced, if you are believers in His Ayat ( proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations).”
In verse 118, Allah himself tells us to to eat food (meat really) on which Allah’s name has been pronounced, and links our of obedience to Allah’s command as evidence of our belief. Now that cant be taken lightly. But what about the meats of the A.Ks, Ahlul-Kitab? That’s in the Quran too, that’s means we are allowed right ? Wrong, and this is no contradiction in the Quran, and only goes to show that the original Christians and Jews were ordered to slaughter in the name of God.
Surah # 6: Al An-am, verse 121: “Eat not (O believers) of that (meat) on which Allah’s name has not been pronounced, for sure it is Fisq (a sin and disobedience to Allah). And certainly, the devils do inspire their friends (from mankind) to dispute with you, and if you obey them, then indeed you will be Mushrikeen (polytheists).”
The verse above can be nothing short of damning evidence that we cannot eat meat upon which Allah’s name was not mentioned on the slaughter. Allah warns us that disobedience in this command makes one the same stance as a one who associates partners with Allah (polytheists). That’s a pretty heavy price to pay, so don’t you want to be sure? Why aren’t you looking out for yourselves, the rewards and punishments will only be given to you, not some salafi or sufi group ( I forget which one Mujahideen quoted). Man, start by respecting yourself and your body and whenever you come across issues of Halal and Haram, do Yourself that favor and ascertain its 100% Halal.
All good is from Allah and all mistakes are from me (& lots of grammar mistakes, err)
