Do you like anything American?

So I don't eat their meat but I can't tell others not to eat it without haveing proof that they don't slaughter it.

Asalaamu alikum,


I guess its not very hard to get proof about the slaughter here in the USA, and I guess it is common knowledge that the huge majority of animals are slaughtered by machine.


I think we should not take too much of a relaxed attitude towrd this issue, because if the contents of our stomache are haram nothing else is going to be good.


One Abu Baker was eating some meat given to him by a new Muslim. In the course of the meal it was mentioned that the meat was payed for with money that the new Muslim had obtained in something haram (before he became Muslim). When Abu Baker heard that, he put his finger down his throat and began to vomit. His reason because of his fear to meet Allah with the haram content of the stomache.


So how people can see for example how they raise the chickens for KFC and think its ok to eat it, I cant imagine.


If a Christain abuses and mistreats animals in the name of greed for its whole life, and then sends it to a machine to be killed, how can we say its halal to eat it simply because a chirstian did it?


What we put into our stomache and the stomache of our family is important. Our meat has to be Zabiha. So I guess the best thing for us is to learn what that means and apply it best we can insha Allah.


May Allah guide us all to the right path, Ameen.
