Halaal status of meat products exported from Brazil
Q: As we are aware, Brazil exports meat and meat products worldwide. Even within the Arab countries, these products are exported and, according to my information, they are halaal certified. As a result, many Muslims consume these products.

1. What is the position of our Ulama on Brazilian chicken, regardless of the brand?
2. Are there certain brands that are genuinely halaal?
3. On what basis is meat exported to Muslim countries and certified as halaal?
4. Why do our Ulama and the Arab Ulama differ on this matter?
