Ruling on Eating Kosher Meat
If someone lives far from a halal supermarket but has a kosher market nearby, is it permissible for them to buy and eat kosher meat?
What Is the Ruling on Stunning an Animal Before Slaughtering It in the Lands of the People of the Book? Is Stunning Considered Torture if It Does Not Cause Pain, and Is Its Meat Permissible if Slaughtered by a Christian?
As-Salaamu Alaykum. I love this website; keep up the good work Allahuma Barik. My question is regarding halal slaughter. In Ahlul Kitab countries, some countries mandate stunning an animal, then they slaughter it by cutting across the neck while they are unconscious. Does stunning them count as animal cruelty if they stun it so called "properly" without giving them any pain, because even the kuffaar know giving animals unnecessary pain is unacceptable (and can we eat the meat regardless if they suffered or not, as long as they are Christians and there is no other violations regarding the actual slaughter)? May Allah give justice in this world and the hereafter, including to the Muslims and animals.
Eating Chicken from Fast Food Restaurants in Canada
I heard that in Christian countries, eating chicken that does not have the "halal" label is considered permissible and allowed for us to eat. Based on this view, is it permissible for me to eat chicken from fast food restaurants such as A&W, Burger King, and Wendy’s in Canada, or should I avoid it?
