Q: I slaughtered a few chickens recently for personal use. I have three questions:
1. On one chicken I noticed after cleaning that the main vein in the neck was not cut, is it halal?
2. I am uncertain if I read Bismillah on one. Is it halal?
3. If any are not Halal, what must be done with them?
Q: If a Muslim na-baaligh girl slaughters a chicken without reading the dua for slaughtering. Is the meat halal?
Q: I live in Canada, and I wanted to ask you if I could eat chicken/beef from places like Mcdonalds, Burger King, Wendys or any other restaurant as they are Christians and Christians are also people of the book. As muslims are we allowed to eat their meat?
Q: What status is it to make qurbaani with wudhu? Is it sunnat?
Q: Is it ok to eat meat slaughtered by current Christians and Jews or those who believed during prophet time?
Q: Is it permissible for us to eat meat slaughtered in non Hanafi countries, such as Malaysia or Saudi Arabia? The reason I'm asking is that we can't be 100% that the meat is halaal according to Hanafi standards. For example, in Malaysia (Shafie) there is a possibility that it would have been slaughtered intentionally without the tasmiyah being pronounced, as this is valid in the Shafie madhab. Also, there is a difference of opinion on how many veins that needs to be cut in the different schools - not all require three veins to be cut like the Hanafis do. Since the asl of meat is hurmah, do these doubts make it impermissible to eat the meat in non-Hanafi countries? If yes, would the ruling be different if a person permanently moves to one of these countries, since it would be difficult to permanently live as a vegetarian there.
Q: Eating of Christian meat is (haram) forbiden? If it is forbiden (haram), can it be a reason for unaccepted dua and salaah (ibaadah)? What is the difference between haraam and sin?
Q: As a Muslim can we eat zabiha of Jews?
Q: I just wanted to ask:
1. Is it permissible to eat beef, chicken or lamb meat slaughtered by people of the book?
2. If its not halaal, then how do you interpret the verse in the Quran which says meat that has been slaughtered by people of the book is permissible for Muslims?
Q: Some principles that should be agreed on. (If they are wrong pleases tell me). Halaal food is extremely important. A body nourished with haram will not enter jannah. Hadeeth: Even the slightest doubt of halalness of food will render it haraam for you. We should strive to follow our religion even if its hard on us. A person who doesn't pray is a kafir. Most of the ummah think if they don't pray they are still muslim. Most muslims dont pray (Stats). Being a muslim is a requirement besides saying bismillah allahuakbar. Due to these points, I am in doubt of the food that is sold and they claim it is halaal. There is a great chance the food I eat is being slaughtered by a "muslim" who doesn't pray which puts me in doubt of its halaal status therefore it's haram for me. Does this seem extreme? Is this against the Sunnah? Please provide evidence and suggest what I should do?
P.S. I live in a Muslim country and I went to a chicken shop who slaughters the chicken on the spot. I came to know the man is known to not pray at all. Therefore I cannot trust the government which is appointed to make sure the meat is halaal. Also is it enough if the food I am eating has a halaal label on it?
