Halaal Meat and other Foods

[Ahmed Abdullah]

Asalaamu alikum Sisiter,

The Imam wanted me to included this haddith because there is another haddith that does not have the part" Those people had embraced Islam recently." Because people will use that haddith so they can justify their eating of meat from the local grocery store.

Or this shall be applied on people who embraced Islam. Sorry if I am asking too many questions and being a bit slow on this.

The Sahaba, may Allah be pleased with them, were in question about if they invoked Allah's name before sacrifice. The people who gave the meat to the Sahaba, may Alah be pleased with them, sacrificed the animal themselves. The Prophet (SAW) assured them it was OK to eat the meat, because their intention was pure. I said in the last post if a Muslim <i>intentionly</i> does not invoke Allah's name on the animal, it is haram. But if a Muslim does it out of forgetfullness it is OK to eat the meat. I also should say our Imam wanted me to say he is not authorized to give Fatawa, that is why he said to make sure your are reading the Qur'an with the seal of authenticity for the tasfeer.

Because of the factory farming and the processing of the chicken, Allah's name is not invoked at the time of slaughter, so the meat is haram. These processing plants just chop off the chicken's head without mentioning Allah's name.

I have a Qur'an with the seal and if anyone wants, in sha Allah I can type the tasfeer of the ayats I have stated previously.

Allah knows best.

Wa salaam,
