Eating the meat slaughtered by the Ahlul Kitaab

Q: Is the slaughter by the Ahlul Kitaab halaal? Some said to me that Prophet Muhammad (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) used to eat the zabiha of the Yahood?

A: The Ahle Kitaab nowadays are far from the Ahle Kitaab of that era. Nowadays, many of them do not even believe in their scriptures. And those who believe, they do not recite the tasmiyah at the time of slaughter.

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