Eating in a non-Muslim restaurant

Q: When we eat in a Muslim restaurant, we are sure that non-veg food that is serves is halal, but in the case of a non-Muslim restaurant, non-veg is bought from non-veg shops. Is it halal? Can we eat non-veg from a non-Muslim restaurant?

A: It is not permissible to eat meat products from a non-Muslim shop.

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