Meat of a deer hunted by a Christian

Q: Is it halaal to eat a deer meat killed by a Christian person? The person used an arrow when he was hunting. It was wounded when he got it.

A: 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. However, if it can be verified that he is a true Christian and the slaughtering conforms to the shar`ee requirements then his slaughtering will be halaal.

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