JEWS & CHRISTIAN WAY OF ANIMAL SLAUGHTER & FOOD IS HALAL (lawful) FOR MUSLIMS TO EAT

Sheikh “Muhammad Abduh” (1849-1905) the Head of the Islamic Verdict body (mufti) in Egypt & most Islamic countries in his time was asked by a muslim living in Europe if it is halal to eat food slaughtered by the Christian & jewish in Europe whereby they have a different slaughtering way & they also do not say “in the name of ALLAH ’ before slaughtering & the Sheikh answered saying that the food types & animal slaughter prepared & eaten by people of scripture (Jews & Christians) is Halal (lawful) for Muslims to eat despite that the animal slaughter method is different & this is in accordance to Quran. Q5;5

الْيَوْمَ أُحِلَّ لَكُمُ الطَّيِّبَاتُ ۖ وَطَعَامُ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ حِلٌّ لَّكُمْ وَطَعَامُكُمْ حِلٌّ لَّهُمْ,

translation “This day [all] good foods have been made lawful, and the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them” ———–. This allowance excludes what has been stated in Quran as haram Q5;3

حُرِّمَتْ عَلَيْكُمُ الْمَيْتَةُ وَالدَّمُ وَلَحْمُ الْخِنزِيرِ وَمَا أُهِلَّ لِغَيْرِ اللَّـهِ بِهِ وَالْمُنْخَنِقَةُ وَالْمَوْقُوذَةُ وَالْمُتَرَدِّيَةُ وَالنَّطِيحَةُ

translation “Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah, and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or by the goring of horns,” ——-.. The meaning of the food dedicated to other than ALLAH is the immolation food that is dedicated to idols as statues or others regarded by pagans as Gods
