Meat of animals slaughtered by the Ahle-kitaab
Question
Is it ok to eat meat slaughtered by current Christians and Jews or those who believed during prophet time?
Answer
Contemporary Jews and Christians are just Jews and Christians by name. Most of them don't believe in their own scriptures. Hence, they are unbelievers, and the slaughtering of an unbeliever is impermissible. For further details refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/12196
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Mufti Online — Madrasah Ta'leemuddeen. It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
