Imagine if Muslims were this careful about kufr or salah, the Ummah would be rectified tomorrow.
Wallahi this is so true!
What a beautifully true comment
Doesnt mean its allowed just cause some people miss thier sallah
Right, imagine sisters cared this much about hijab 😂
imagine not caring whether what you consume is halal or haram.

Look up this video making things more clear and sensible! I always had a doubt on assimalhakeem as he never gave complete reference to hadiths and Qur'an verses so that normal people cross check!

As a Christian in the USA I certainly can’t say we are a “Christian” country anymore
It wouldn’t matter how religious the u.s was
Because Protestant and Catholics don’t even practice kosher laws of slaughtering
Mentioned in Leviticus
Unlike orthodox Christians and Jews do
Which would be Halal for Muslims
According the the latest 2019 pew studies, over 60% of Americans identify as Christians.
Don't be khawarij Christian bro.

A country claiming to be christian but accept LGBTQ alphabet people as an ok thing that kids should swap gender... clearly isn't christian anymore
Most western countries provide halal or vegetarian options. You don’t have to go to McDonald’s to eat.
Which country
90
Percent of Christians or non christians in usa hit animal with gun and electricity or gas
Animal dies before u slaughter
I saw a video in uk or usa i think
The guy used to work for multiliple halal companys and he said they used gas before slaughtering
And he found out 70 percent of chicken died before slaughtering
Now u go to qufars 95 percent non halal way
They dont care halal way of christian way method
Theyre atheist majority in usa and europe
True
McD is good tho
I want a Big Mac tho 😂

Our religion also tells us to stay away from doubtful things.
this 'shiekh' is a deviant. you can clearly see it from this fake fatwa along with his other questions where you will notice 2 things. 1 of them is his tendency to attack other muslims who ask questions and trying to shame them. Just because he is popular doesnt mean you should trust him, just because he quotes Quran and Sunnah but twists it according to his own whims and this is how Shaytan misguides the Ummah. By using bought out fake scholars, which is exactly what ibn baz (his scholar) was. Seek knowledge with a clean heart, and Allah will make these fake scholars stench unbearable.
I think the same, but perhaps this case is different because it's food and you don't want to waste it?
Our religion is also full of concessions and mercies from Allah, to make it easier.
I still don't eat any meat I don't know about.
Allahu 3alam.
Now, he has also started saying that alcohol is halal if it doesn't make you drunk
@@abdulmalek8321 Salam brother, you should add the proof alongside the comment.
Otherwise, it does seem like you are slandering a brother in Islam.
Which is a grave thing to do.
There is no need to do that in fact, since scholars do differ in opinions, but they don't do low kicks like that.
So please my brother, regardless of what the Sheikh said, let the discussion be as it should.
For your character at least.
I don't want the Shaytan to make our ummah be toxic and divided, division of opinion shouldn't cause this necessarely.
Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatulah.
You should take another Scholars opinion who has good religious education back ground
8:41: FYI, the USA constitution does not require public office holders to go through any religious test. The constitution does not require the President to be just from the Christian faith.
Neither does turkey but his point still stands
Yes I went straight to google on this haha wish he didn't say that
True but the president has always been christen/catholic and most of the house is christen
A great plus about being picky and eating halal only, is that you don’t consume a lot of the available junk food, therefore, it’s easier to watch your weight, stay healthy and cook your own meals too.
I’m sticking with halal certified.
Lol here in the UK and pretty sure everywhere else, the same junk food is available with a Halal option.
Kosher certified also halal.
Keep speaking up brothers and sisters. There are no excuses
Yesss exactly!! I was watching this and was thinking even if it’s ok to do that , I’m still saving myself by not indulging!! Alhamdulilah.
Lol quite the opposite. Because you’ve made haram that which is halal you’re stuck to eating rice and potatoes all the time.
A lot of “halal” only people are fat and unhealthy
You're not gonna die if you don't eat from macdonald kfc Burger King, etc.
You don't have to be desperate, Alhamdulillah there's halal food out there 🤦♂️
Exactly why eat that one which is doubtful , controversial and according to majority of scholars it's haraam
It's a major sin and if on the day of judgement we're asked why did we not listen to the majority of scholars and ate haraam ......will the respected shayk come to our rescue ?
It was halal bcz their slaughter rules were same as islam ....but no more ....
Do what you want i follow Sheik bin baz opinion
Plenty in the big metropolitan areas in the USA. I live in the NYC Area and there's a halal cart or nice restraunt that serves halal-only dishes. There really isn't an excuse unless you choose to live in an area where there is not a big muslim population.
@@bestraterfearlessever4667 The laymen is not supposed to choose between which opinions he thinks is correct or not. He is supposed to follow a scholar and follow his valid opinions.

Allah tells us to go to the people of knowledge. At the end of the day, it's a difference of opinion, we should not fight over these things.

I have been living in the US for more than 20 years, Alhamdulillah never had a problem buying halal meat or finding halal restaurants. Not much but they are some, I cooked most of my own food anyway because I only eat my own kind of food.
but a big mac tastes really good
@@ArsalanAFG-fo1yxbro that’s definitely haram, even assim al hakeem said that you shouldn’t eat in a place that serves pork. You know a big mac is not halal because mcdonalds explicitly tells us how they kill their animals. If you eat at mcdonalds or kfc you are eating haram
@@ArsalanAFG-fo1yxNobody cares, you troll
Also, depends where you live. If you’re living in smalltown, USA you might not find halal options
Exactly. Eat only if it's Kosher or Halal certified. Never go with an assumption.
.
Most slaughter houses are Atheists and use hammering/electrifying to satisfy animal rights.
The western countries like US & UK have a lot of options Halal certification, Kosher certification, Vegetarian, Vegan we don’t need to eat from unknown sources where we don’t know anything about the store or food
His point is that what you are saying is fine but if isn't Islam. Islam is made to be easy for you. Personally I still feel I won't eat a McDonald's burger for the same reasons as you. But it is a personal choice
@kuj0: yes islam is very easy but we can’t take risk every slaughter house do beef and pork together
@@Kuj0Jotar0this is true especially as practices of larger fast food chain such as McDonald's is widely known (e.g frying in lard [pig fat], as well as more transparency on their sources of meat). However for family owned street diners, chicken shops, etc for example I think this ruling is more applicable.
Did you even watch the video brother. You can eat from an unknown source because the default religion in the country is Christianity. Unless you see with your own eyes the meat get slaughtered inappropriately or get mixed with pork. The people of the book who were serving the Muslims meat in the Hadith could have also been slaughtering pig with the same hands and causing a mix up. Did the prophet pbuh tell them to check? No.
That's the whole point you idiots. YOU DONT HAVE TO ASSUME THE WORST! You ordered beef and got beef youre not supposed to take your magnifying glass out and examine the thing. Even if it was pork you will not get sin as you merely followed quran and sunnah and ordered beef. @@afrozkhan9089
I’m not eating it, halal or nothing!
Mashallah Tabarakallah
habibi you die if you no eat
Exactly same. Just stick to fillet o fish as usual. If I want beef or chicken I go to muslim establishments.
I don't think meat in Western countries is healthy. They put alot of hormones in the meat and even the milk. I feel it makes people unhealthy. But eating meat in my country you never really gain weight and feel healthier. I just think in general it was hard to find healthy organic food in a Western country unless you paid alot of money. Hormones in the food is really bad. The kids even develop faster and people get to very large sizes that you never see in developing countries.
@@Alxamdulilah7yh unfortunately that's the sad reality here in the west where alot of people are gaining weight cause of processed junk. Organic food down here is actually more expensive that's why people end up eating too much unhealthy junk
As an American Christian (Catholic) I found this interesting and took away some good information other than Halal information. We are all children of the Abrahamic religions and believe in the same God. It shows that we should all respect each other and our ways of worshiping God since we are all seeking the same outcome. As we believe in the New and Old Testiment it seems the Muslim teachings speak of of them as books of God and should be respected as well. Correct me if I am wrong.... I enjoy learning especialy since I actualy live in a Muslim country currently (Working)
Yes all of the books are Allah's words and sent down from the sky to guide us. Yet we believe that Old and new testaments are modified (tahreef) by the Hahams and Churches. (Toake some profit out of the books) But the Quran is and will be protected until the day of judgment. Let's say Quran is the final version of the drawing and it is not going to be changed anymore. Like we have preliminary revisions of the drawings, same as here. Quran approves previous books. And apart of 5 pillars of Islam we have 6 pillars of Imaan, and one of that 6 is to believe to all the books sent down including Bible and Torah.
May Allah Almighty guide all of us to the right path. Ameen!
brother , i appreciate the nice words from you but ALAH ordered us to tell the things as they are without masks ... i respect you to believe in whatever you want , but there nothing called abrahamic religions , what was the religion of abraham ? Adam ? Daniel ? Mosas ? jesus ? etc etc .... in fact Alah said it clearly in the Quran that he sends prophets since the begining with Adam and Even to deliver his commandments and message to the people and guide them and save them from the Satan... the word religion in arabic is "dyn" and the meaning of it is "the way" or "the path" or "the instruction" to follow and Alah said that there is only one religion since the begining of the creation which is islam , which means "submit the will to Alah".
other religions refers to a person , like jewish refer to prophet judah , like christianity refers to prophet Jesus Christ etc ... only prophet Mohamed when he was sent by Alah to tell people the message he said Alah told you that the religion is Islam ..he didn't say "Mohamadish" or "Mohamadity" or whatever... and the message is the QURAN which is the actual literally the words of ALAH (GOD) and in it Alah told us about the Injil (which you call today Bible) and Torah and even other books ..but also he told us that these books has been modified by priests and kings to take away people from the truth and to missguide them to be able to rule and control them at that time...
you won't find anything in the Quran that is bad about all prophets ...cuz all of them came for the same reason.
one God created the existing , this GOD is above us and above our mind and imagination , this GOD was very clear telling he is GOD and he sends prophets to guide you , gave to each prophet miracles to proove he is powered and suppored by GOD like jesus heals the sicks and even awake the deaths , not because he is GOD but because GOD is all powerfull and gave him this miracle to proove to peopel , jesus peace up him was born by miracle from GOD withut a father, he has no father , it wasnt a normal birth like others , Virgin Mary(Mariam) took him as a baby in her hands to the jewish Rebbies ...they accused her of adultary and said she has this baby outside of marriage so Jesus peace up him spoke at that moment as a baby and glorified his mother and tell them she is innocent and he is the prophet of GOD.... this is the reason why the jewish didnt stone her..and he didnt die on the cross neither put on the cross . God would never let these criminals kill his prophet so he took him flesh to the heaven and made them seeing another person that he made and they though it was jesus.
this GOD has a name unique to him no partner no son no wife no father no daughter no past no future no limited place ..his name is ALAH.
@christopherCircelli which country do you live in right now?
Yes Christians and Jews are referred to as "People of the Book"in the Quran because their prophets were sent books. Moses(peacw be upon him) got the Torah and Jesus (pbuh) got the Injeel/Gospel
Agreed 💯
In NYC USA it's easy for me to find and eat Halal food. If I travel and don't find halal food I usually look for seafood or vegetarian food. If I don't find seafood or vegetarian food then I look for permissible foods like beef, chicken, etc from places like Chick-fil-A in a country where people predominantly follow the book (Christian, Jewish).
Recently I went on vacation to Atlanta, Georgia in the USA after jet lag I needed to eat and easily I found several local places that served seafood: Shrimp, Salmon, Tuna fish salad at Subway's etc.
While at Georgia I traveled to another location and was exhausted from the long walk and wanted to eat. I discovered Uber Eats app on the iPhone and I was easily able to find seafood nearby and have it delivered to my location. 🙂
You missed the point again - you are making exceptions , but Islamic ruling as per prophet Mohammad ahadees as mentioned above means - YES YOU CAN eat it
@@bilalalam1You missed the point, you can live with seafood and veggies. It’s a matter of Taqawah. I never ate meat from non-Muslims despite living in their countries all my life, never will. إن شاء الله
@@icaicciai3171 then why do you even stay their country? Isn't it better to move to a muslim country rather live in a kafir's country?
please refrain from going to subway. They use pork in their tuna
If there's no halal food available
Try to tuna or vegeterian options
Out of these they are always available
I live in uk sometimes when I go out of London they don't serve halal option in the menu ill try to vegeterian option no big deal
The Sausage McMuffin pork patties are cooked on the same hot plates as the burger patties.
I don't know how McDonald's can be halal.
If you're 100% sure, don't eat, otherwise doubts don't empower truth and the norm.
I think meat from McDonalds is definetly haram not because of the slaugthering but because they cook the pork meat and other meats on the same grill.
Whether you eat non halal or halal only, the one issue no one cares about is cross containmantion. Why do zabiha only people still buy cheese pizzas from a restaurant in which pork is cooked in the oven as well? Why do they also buy fish filets from McDonald's? You're only bringing up this point to try and say the shaykh is wrong. Why would you guys even move to a kaffir country if this was gonna be a problem
@@chadedwards3676 cross contamination is legit, and Sheikh Assim has already spoken about it in another video. Not sure if pizza ovens fall into that category, it is only the dough that is in contact. As for fish filets or even chicken that is deep fried, I don't know of any deep fried porc.
@calebacrutto9601 Wouldn't there be pork particles in the pizza from the oven though? Besides that I've seen pizza places use the same gloves for the pepperoni as they do for normal cheese or chicken pizzas and when I told some of these strict zabiha adherents they blatantly told me they didn't care and ate anyway.
Just for clarity sake:
1. Sheikh has on numerous occasions mentioned that it is not recommended to eat at places which serve pork/alcohol
2. Sheikh is only making reference to restaurants which serve chicken/meat
3. Sheikh is not halaalizing *all* food establishments in the West but is merely stating that its not up to us to interrogate these establishments and question their credibility - we could very well do the same with most 'muslim-owned' halaal establishments too but we dont
If we know for certain that the owners of establishments are likely not of the 3 Abrahamaic faiths and that the butchers from where they source their meat does not slaughter the animals, then we avoid
Who made you the spokesperson for Asim Al hakim ?
Please stop complicating things. Whats needed to be said was already explained in this video!
Sheikh made everything clear! We don't need confusing comments like yours plz!
maybe the takeaway point is not to interrogate. Deduce what you can without interrogating.
I am in a fish and chip shop, and I see Muslims asking what oil it's cooked in, if the fish abnd meat and prepared seperately etc. It's annoying. The servers get annoyed and they just say nothing here is halal.
Why you say the lack of interrogation means auto-approval.
Exactly i said the same thing too ! When people start complicating things, doesn't that remind us of bani israel?@@muhammadsalafiahlulhadith
I feel like this blatant ignorance of “don’t ask, don’t tell” mentality is going to be detrimental to us as muslims. Many countries with mixed cultures including many in Asia have halal certifications. By saying things like this can mean the end of such certifications.
You are missing the point my brother
Learn from the story of Al-Baqarah
It is not blatant ignorance
The certificate is a regulation and a means but the regulations itself is not wajib, just a means to reach it.
Never purchase meat cooked or uncooked from Non-muslims. The Salafi aqeedah is riddled. They copy and paste parts of hadith and ignore others. They are not allowed to use REASON in any way, shape or form. When we were in muzdalifa, cooked meat was passed to us from an unknown source, however all people there were Muslim so we ate it.
It's not a 'don't ask don't tell'. It's about intention. If YOU believe that the meat was slaughtered haram, then YOU musn't eat it. If you are not sure, then you have the benefit of the doubt. you don't ignore your OWN knowledge. You just ignore other's knowledge. Allah knows your heart
@@creditiscomplicated-sm3mh Sounds like a cop out to me. Just like the Christians say in their religion "ignorance is bliss"
@@kb4432 no. its not. islam is a religion of principle and intention not formulas and legalities. punishment for wrongdoing is severe. no cop out
This is the strongest argument that I've heard for the permissibility of eating meat in "People of the Book" countries. It mostly rests on the sahih Hadith of the Prophet (s), who was the living example of the Qur'an, and the way he acted in this matter makes this religion EASY for the Muslims. His actions are a MERCY. We should remember that he disliked it when his companions asked too many questions because he would then be forced to answer in a more detailed way and therefore make things difficult for future generations.
Generally speaking it's best to avoid this meat, no one argues against this, but as the Shaykh said, you shouldn't think others are sinful for eating the meat here because Prophet (s) didn't demand that we investigate everything.
Sheikh the issue is that almost all of the slaughterhouses in the west slaughter the animal using either a stun gun or with gas, which makes the meat haram.
@@YousefA5 they still machine slaughter them in England.
Then you’ve not listened carefully to the sheik submission. “Almost” is not all.
@@muktarusman7196 It's the default with slaughterhouses in the West. They kill the animal with a stun gun without any blood flow. This makes the meat haram regardless of whether it was done by a Muslim or Christian.
Brother you didn’t even watch the video
@@LebanonsFinest Brother I did. The point still stands. They do not slaughter the animal with blood flow which makes the meat haram.
Sheikh is usually strict compared to other scholars so I’m really surprised and dumbfounded abt his views on this issue. Allahu Alam.
It is safer to eat meat which has been clearly certified as halal.
Not according to the prophet pbuh based on his sources my friend. It is not necessarily safer, you just say bismillah. What if the certificate is forged or the inspector is paid off by the big corporation? The truth is, you will never know unless you do it yourself. Even if you witness somebody saying Allah set name, if he doesn’t have proper niyaa, it may not be halal either. What if in his heart he is saying an idols name ?
It makes perfect sense what the prophet pbuh said because you never truly know.
JAK
@@UserLogin-ZSaying bismillah doesn't make it halal and has there ever been proof that halal certificates were forged? If we find even the slight hint that they were forged then yes stay away otherwise Allah will deal with them.
Just saying Islam is based on concrete proof and absolutes and not doubts and speculations.
Salam Alaikum.
maybe someone forced him to do that
Same here. So I can eat McDonald's right now?
I'm taken aback, too. Only problem is that Christianity and Judaism is no longer being practiced as it should be. With ruthless money hungary corporations in charge and running the show, one cannot rely on certification from any Christian or Jew establishment thus only relying on Halal certified slaughterhouses, restuarants, hotels, fast food joints etc. May Allah Almighty protect us all from haram and harm to our dunya & akhirah.
I used to share the Sheikh’s view on this until Surah 6:118-121 made it clear to me that slaughtered meat must have Allah’s name mentioned on it to be Halal. The absence of any name is not good enough. In Surah 6:118 Allah gives an affirmative command “Eat of that which the name of Allah has been mentioned”. Surah 6:119 Allah gives a rhetorical reflection, “why would you not eat of that which Allah’s name has been pronounced “. Finally in 6:121 Allah gives a negative command “Do not eat of that which the name of Allah Has Not been pronounced for it is sinful”. Allah emphasizes it three times in this section driving the point home.
The ayah that says the meat from the People of the Book is Halal for us only allows for them to be a valid slaughterer, but the other conditions of Halal still need to be met. For example, Christians eat pork and bloody steak. Is this meat Halal for us because it was served by a Christian? No, because it violates the other conditions of Halal. So in a Christian land, even if the slaughterer is presumed Christian, the other conditions also need to be fulfilled which are the type of animal, the pronouncement of Allah’s name, the method of slaughter, and the absence of flowing blood.
I went to Sri lanka in the past.. i do not remember clearly but this one time i stayed in the hindu hotel. When i eat my breakfast there, i just ask them to make me a vege omelet and also some tea/coffee. Normally they will provide omelet with meat inside to their customers, but i requested for vege omelet instead
Last year, i went to malawi and i stayed in another hotel. I arrived at the hotel late at night and i went to the hotel's restaurant to eat dinner.. and i saw for the menu they sell pork also.
But i ordered for a vege pizza and some hot drinks.
Its not that difficult guys, trust me.. when you are certain and find halal restaurant then you can enjoy eating meats otherwise if you cant, just eat like a vegetarian people. Its simple as that.
Yeah I will never eat Hindu/Buddhist/Taoist meat ever
It’s really tough for me to eat anything other than halal because it’s built in me to ask and also ask whether alcohol was used in the food.
In France I worked in a Muslim Restaurant as a student and an Afghan guy who was working there already told me not to eat the kebab here as it was not halal and the same owner had another restaurant 100 meters away that sold alcohol. I quit the job. Al hamdulillah

Just eat halal unless there is desperation for meat just eat vegetables
I was always taught, when in doubt about whether a food is allowed or not according to the religion, it is best to leave it. No investigation needed, used ones own judgement. As we all know the butcher on the farm can be of any faith or without faith at all, so why the need to go any further to question the state of halal or haram meat. The preparation of the animal for consumption was questionable from the beginning.
That is applicable for you…as warak, but you should never ask others to follow that
Then your practice is against the hadith of Rasullulah as Sheikh explained
yes and u dumb idiots can use interest based loans to buy houses and cars. trust me most these idiots living in western countries only talk about haram food while they wear tight jeans with no hijab and pay thousands of dollars in interest.
Your lord is most forgiving in this day an age it almost impossible to own animals and slaughter them without getting you fined jailed or run out of town
Allah is most forgiving and Quran and Islam is that of a simple form and should be a simple easy way of living and not burden the people
May Allah forgive us
What does doubt mean? It will be different from person to person. It’s not reasonable for everyone to identify every step in the supply chain to establish provenance. It’s on the butcher to ask the slaughterhouse their processes. It’s on the buyer to ask the butcher. Everything else is hardship. That said it is good to have organisations like HMC and HFA to drive standards across the industry.

Subhanallah the more life gets easy the more it gets complicated, it is up to a individual to make the right choices .back in the late fifties we were growing up in Britain in the area where we lived there wereno halaal meat so for 10 or s0 years the only protein dish that our mum cooked was tinned salmon or eggs the rest was veggies and lentils and chickpeas. Looking back and wondering wow what sabr wala people they where, my parents were not overly practicing muslims but boy did they ingrain halaal and harm foods into us thanks Allah for their sabr this is one stuggle we didn't have to go through . So sad we have do many choices and here we are trying to find a way to turn McDonald's any which way to some sort of halaal. Man will only be satisfied the day he reachs his last home
I have a similar experience in life. I think it was the Pakistani/Indian/ Bengali muslims that were this way.
You missed the sheikh's message completely. Instead of assuming that halal food is easily accessible and affordable for everyone, you could have simply said, "I would recommend that everyone considers eating Halal food." It's important to avoid making assumptions about the availability and affordability of Halal food, as it can be challenging for some people to find. Also, don't assume that your parents fed you Halal food solely because of religious beliefs; it could be due to tradition or other reasons.
I can say as well "that the concept of Halal food has evolved, and today, it's often used as a marketing tool to charge more for potentially lower-quality products made with cheap labor" but it's a generalization, which is exactly what the sheikh cautioned against. Islam is meant to be simple and beautiful, so let's not make it unnecessarily difficult for others. Thank you, and may Allah reward you for your efforts to ensure the food you consume is Halal.
I ask ALLAL to punish you Wahabis and Salafis that you are interpreting by your own knowledge and guiding people towards wrong path.
Among 4 sect of اهل سنه which Emam said that the meat sloutered by مشرکین ؛، کافران is Halal?
You still dont know; in our world there isn't any اهل کتاب because all of them is مشرک as all of them believe The Jesus is God.
Listen all the way to end before you says something that cane create a fitnah which is like you eating your own brother's meat zabiha or non zabiha.

To anyone who has a problem or disagrees with the sheikhs answer:

Alhamdulillah, Islam is the most practical religion in the world. I know Christians who do not eat at Burger King or McDonalds not for the sake of religion, but for the sake of health. If you are forced to eat there, then order a fish burger no problem. Allah (swt) does not burden us with anything we cannot handle.
McDonald's in my region clearly state on their website that their meat is Not halal.
Guaranteed that they say that it isn't halal because it wasn't slaughtered in an Islamic way. Kosher is not slaughtered the Islamic way, but is still halal to eat. The problem here is their use of the word halal and our understanding of it. For sure they think if, without any context, you say the word halal, they think you are speaking about food.
Yes clear it is not Halal. Plenty of Halal options available elsewhere. If you are struggling with Halal options then you are allowed Kosher. If Halal and Kosher not available then if you are starving then go for vegetarian options. You dont have to eat meat from MacDonalds or KFC.

but america is not a christian country they seperated the church from the state ? The U.S. Constitution is a wholly secular document.
No the constitution protects you from the state making laws or forcing religion on you. It lets you practice your religion freely. God is mentioned in the constitution. Religious leaders are pictured on the supreme court of america. America is and has always been a country made up of many people who are deeply religious. Most people want to immigrate to the US cause they are free to practice their religion in peace. The constitution protects peoples rights given to them by God.
You miss the point. For example, Turkey and Bangladesh have taghooti constitutions as well, their rulers and governments even made prostitution “halal” but we look at the predominant population who call themselves Muslims, many of them go to mosques, follow our Islamic tahreemaat and faraid, rites and adabs. We just eat their food without investigating. Likewise, the US people usually identify themselves as Christians though they are kuffar just like Christians of Byzantine used to be at time of the Prophet, sallaLLahu alayhi wasallam. We take their self-identification as Christians at face value, just like Sahabah did.

@CodnGta where does it say we must confirm their level of religious piety? Wouldn't this exact same argument work for Muslims, since they may/may not do practices that would take them out of the fold of Islam?

May Allah guide us all
That’s so powerful to me. I live in Germany my whole life as a Muslim, Alhamdulillah. This rule would change a lot in my life but it feels so wrong. Inshallah I will think about it. May Allah guide us, Ameen.
I wrote this elsewhere but pasting it here for you: The full version of the Hadith of not asking and just saying Bismillah can be searched up and seen - that meat had come from *Muslims*. The Prophet (S) was teaching the Sahaba not to interrogate their fellow Muslims *without a valid reason*. However when there IS a valid reason, he taught us to not eat it. Example - a Halal animal caught by a hunting dog is allowed for us if we say Bismillah on the dog - it qualifies as a correct slaughter in the Name of Allah. But what if you sent out your dog and he returned, not just with a bird in his mouth, but also another dog by his side? The Prophet (S) taught that we can *not* eat that bird now, because we don't know which dog actually caught it. Was it our dog, on whom we took the Name of Allah? Or that other dog, on whom we did not? So since we don't know if the name of Allah applies to that bird and *can't interrogate a dog*, we just *don't* eat it. Sa'd Ibn Abi Waqqas (R) was one of the ten companions promised Paradise in their lifetime, his prayers were always answered, so he was asked - how come from all the companions, your prayers are always answered? He replied that he has never eaten a bite of food without *confirming* its Halal source. And why did he do this? Because the Prophet (S) taught him! Ali (R), one of the *Rightly* Guided khulafaa, commanded the Muslims to stop eating from the Christians of Banu Taghlib because it had become apparent they were not following the rules of slaughter so there was a *valid reason* now to interrogate where the meat came from... because if it was from Banu Taghlib, it had to be avoided. There is nothing complicated about this. You would interrogate and research before putting your money in some investment. This is food in our own bodies! And it's so easy to check - Just ask the supplier. Find their number and give them a call, or just check for a properly verified Halal certificate. In Surah al-An'aam, Allah says if we are to follow people who argue about eating animals not slaughtered with the Name of Allah, we become Mushriks. With due respect to Sh Assim, he would be right 40 years ago, not today. He said himself that he hasn't been to the US in 40 years. He's not updated about it and the scholars he's quoting from have passed away a long time ago and they were giving fatawa about the state of the West decades ago. If surveys today show that about half or even more than half the people of a country declare themselves non-Christian, what more proof do we need that the country is not Christian? And what benefit do we get from pretending they still are, when they tell us they're not? And again - even if they were - so what? Ali (R) - one of the *RIGHTLY* guided Caliphs - prohibited meat from Christians when it became evident they don't slaughter properly. Has it not become evident these countries don't slaughter properly when they openly announce their un-Islamic slaughter policies in public interviews? We don't even need to ask - they're telling us themselves that (1) they're not Christian and (2) their methods are unIslamic and they do not take the Name of Allah. May Allah guide us, ameen
Your bit about 'he ﷺ taught us to not eat it'. Do you have the hadith??? From authentic books please...
@@user-mj1zp5me2r yes brother, authentic sources. You can search them and you'll find them if you're sincere. For example, this is the one about hunting dogs - from Sunan an-Nasai:
It was narrated that 'Adiyy bin Hatim said:
"I asked the Messenger of Allah about dogs and he said: 'If you release your dog and say the name of Allah, then eat, but if you find another dog with your dog then do not eat, for you only said the name of Allah over your dog, not any other.""

Please brother, for the sake of Allah, don't eat from any other than Muslim.
These fatwas highlights the massive shortcomings of the 'salafists' ideology. Eating haram nullifies Salah and it will not be accepted for 40 days. Your instinct is correct and please follow it, it's called Taqwa
In Germany they have the same regulations as Belgium. And as he explained in this video you're not allowed to eat the meat in that counrty because of the way they kill their meat

Barrakallahu feek Shaykh Assim. According to 2021 data only 46% of England and Wales identified as Christian. Therefore Anglican clergy claimed that Britain is can no longer be considered to be a Christian nation. Islamic scholars of Saudi Arabia may need to re-evaluate the situation of the West.
Back to basics. That the stats show this does not take a way the basic principle that eating their food is halal unless preceeded by certainty and not soke stats thats cold still br reviewed soonest and as it stands its still not up to 50% if one is to rely on it.
So it's simple as the shaykh has explained. If someone goes to Mcdonald or any other place, they can't be told they are doing haram, if you wnat to stick to thise that are clearly halal, good.
@taalib_102 Allah has allowed us to eat food of the PEOPLE OF THE BOOK. (Surah Al Maida V5).
Sheikh Asim al Hakim used a hadith, Sahabas asked the Prophet (Peace be upon him) that there are people who send us meat and we do not know if the name of Allah has been mentioned. The Prophet (Peace be upon him) told them to recite Bismillah and eat. Sheikh emphasised the point that the Prophet could have asked them to investigate it but he didn't.
The Sheikh forgot to mention a crucial point. The people that Sahabas were referring to were NEW MUSLIMS. The assumption is that they must have recited the tasmiyah before slaughtering and Sahabas shouldn't have baseless doubt. It is a common practice of the Muslims to recite Bismillah before eating or conducting any halal activities.
He also used another Hadith where a Jewish woman gave meat to the Prophet and he ate it without any questions. The reason the Prophet (Peace be upon him) didn't question was that the Prophet knew she was a Jew so part of the People of the Book.
The United States of America is neither a Christian nor a Jewish nation. It was founded strictly on secular notions and is very diverse. In fact, certain current practices of slaughter that render meat Harām are legal in America (death by electrocution, CAS stunning, etc…).
There is no certainty that the individuals slaughtering animals are Christians or Jews. A significantly growing percentage of the populations are Atheists, Nominal Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, etc… The scholars have maintained unanimous consensus (ijmaa’) that even if Christians and Jews deviate in their beliefs, they are still considered “People of the Book.” However, a large portion of Americans fall under the category of “nominal Christians” - those whom do not actually believe in God rather only have a Christian name. These individuals are not considered “People of the Book” and hence, their slaughter will be Harām as well.
Due to the strong uncertainty of the mere slaughtered being a true Christian or Jew, there remains no doubt that such meat will be rendered impermissible based on this notion.
At-Tirmidhi (2442), Ahmad (1630) and Ibn Hibbaan (722) from al-Hasan ibn ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: I memorized from the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him): “Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt, for truth leads to reassurance and lies lead to uncertainty.”
May Allah guide us and keep us in the right path.
@@abulchowdhury4082
"Due to the strong uncertainty of the mere slaughtered being a true Christian or Jew, there remains no doubt that such meat will be rendered impermissible based on this notion."
The paragraph above means that you did not get the explanation of the shaykh. You still have no certainty that all the christians and jews are not true christians and true jews in the west and America in particular as in your write up. As long as the doubt is there, you still cannot generalize and then arrive at the ruling that it is Haram to eat meat slaughtered by them.
"The scholars have maintained unanimous consensus (ijmaa’) that even if Christians and Jews deviate in their beliefs, they are still considered “People of the Book.” " => This paragraph alone appears to be a proof against everything else you said below it. like the next sentence below..
However, a large portion of Americans fall under the category of “nominal Christians” => Again, how do you know for sure they are "nominal christians"? what the scholars said in your statement implies generalism(all christians and jews) but you have brought exceptions(“nominal Christians” and I guess "nominal jews" too). Where is the proof for this exception? Making something haram is something serious and cannot be based on anything except from certainty.
Also you wrote this long detail without citing any Scholar of the sunnah that has the same thought process and arrived at the same conclusion as you did. Shaykh Asim at least explained a thought process and also referred to a well known Scholar of the sunnah.
May Allaah guide us.

Thank you, Shaykh. May Allah protect you. Aameen. 🤲Truly appreciate these discussions and thank you to the caller for asking the question. I come from a non-Muslim country and more and more are atheists or agnostics here but for Muslims, the Halal certification of food establishments and food products here is approved by an Islamic religious council and alhamdulillah they are very strict about giving certifications. Hence the Muslims here feel confident when we eat in ‘Halal-certified’ establishments including many restaurants and fast food chains. In addition, most practicing Muslims here abide by the Halal-food restrictions and eat only Halal. Alhamdulillah. 😊
Which country you are talking about?
Firstly salam alaykum to all my brothers in sisters. Sheikh you are grossly wrong and I advise you to do more research concerning the guideline and laws regarding slaughter in the United States.
I testify before Allah that the conventional method of slaughter in the US involves using a blow to the brain via nail gun as I have worked in a slaughterhouse before.
There is only conventional slaughter and religious slaughter in the states and stunning is required by US law.
ALL slaughterhouses that does not exercise religious slaughter uses a severe blow to the head of red meat. And poultry is killed via chemical gassing
“A captive bolt stunning gun kills the animal and reduces it instantly unconscious without causing pain. A captive bolt gun has a steel bolt that is powered by either compressed air or a blank cartridge. The bolt is driven into the animal's brain. It has the same effect on the animal as a firearm with a live bullet. After the animal is shot the bolt retracts and is reset for the next animal. A captive bolt gun is safer than a firearm.”
Recommended Captive Bolt Stunning Techniques for Cattle
“Some techniques, such as firearms or prolonged exposure to anoxic gas mixtures, are considered to be stun-kill methods. That is, they cause unconsciousness and lead to death without an additional action being taken.”
Stunning and killing - Humane Slaughter Association
III. ACCEPTABLE METHODS OF SLAUGHTER
Under § 1902(a) , livestock animals (cattle, calves, horses, mules, sheep, swine, and goats) must be “rendered insensible to pain... before being shackled, hoisted, thrown, cast, or cut.” The animal may be made unconscious of pain “by a single blow or gunshot or an electrical, chemical or other means that is rapid and effective.” HMSA § 1902(a) .

You need to retype the whole thing (not copy past) before it goes officially. But coming to your comment, as the sheikh said in his video and ibn utaymeen said we shouldn't check because that is the sunnah, so you did something which people, who follow the sunnah, shouldn't do. But "uses a serve blow" and the first quotation you have given us, are they dead when this method is used or not, as that is not being mentioned by you. You give us the quotation but it doesn't say that the animal is dead or not. Even "some techniques" is very vague and not all animals are dead. Pork however they do that, like here in the EU, they for sure kill pork. But on other animals they just stunn it but it is not dead, the hearth is still beating. Sheikh said about Belgium, but this not true and in sha allah the Admin will tell him that what he said about them being dead, is not true and they also use the technique of stunning but the hearth is still beating. So can you say that the first quotation you have given means the animal is dead or not, as the quote you have given I couldn't find on the documentation. I only saw two pictures of animals being stunned but the animal doesn't die from stunning only becomes drowzy like in the EU. So can you give me a better one?

At this point USA isn't predominantly christian, we need to update the fatwa based on modern observations.

My father came from Morocco to Belgium in 1964 he is now 92 years old he remembers alhamdoullilah buying meat from the Jews no questions asked for almost 10 years because the community of moroccans grew in the 70s and they started to slaughter the animals them selves now the Belgian government don't allow this like the sheikh mention but there is enough import from Holland or Poland etc. In all the slaughterhouses they get stunned and than slaughtered like he said. But like he says we are not suppose to interrogate every restaurant. Also Subhanallah we are gonna filter everything here in Europe or US stay at home shut down your internet and read a book.

It’s best to avoid but you’re generalizing the entire west with the U.S
For example majority of the U.S say they are Christian, especially the south and the Bible Belt.
Chickens aren’t electrocuted to death in a lot of slaughterhouses in America. They stun them unconscious and then kill them by cutting their head with a blade. Thereby remaining halal
Whereas some place like the U.K is still majority Christian but it’s less then 50% all together.
I don’t even eat from a lot of these fast food joints but saying it’s Haram is going too far without certainty (could be lying in this case)
Another point is that the scholars fatwa’s are general in America’s case specifically as it still very much applies.
But again, the better decision is probably to avoid.
As said Mr Sheikh Islam is a religion of simplicity. 🤍
shaikh needs to make another 15 minute video replying to these comments
All the doubts in the comments have already been answered. The people are repeating the same questions, they literally ignored the 2 Hadiths like it doesn't exist.
the hadith is not extreme enough for these people..
The problem is "The West" contains whole of Europe. And almost all major european countries have no statereligion. And a Question: Lets say you know that the possibility of the mest being slaughtered in a eatible way is at 5%, would you still eat it? (genuine quesion)
if there is no any other food choice and there is only Haram food and if you dont eat it will end up to Starvation and Death. then just Eat it and keep Repent at your Prayer while keep looking for Halal Alternative. dont make it Complicated

Im in Australia, halal certification here are so expensive and many company doesn’t want to get the certification. It’s very hard here to find halal restaurants,especially if you dont live in big city. I just stock up & freeze my meat every 2 weeks from halal butcher and cook myself . If im going out to restaurants i will find something that without meat.. or just buy coffee ..
Australia has so many brainwashed islamophobes, I doubt certification fee money is the main reason food companies there refuse to get their products halal certified. They're probably afraid that the local islam haters there would boycott and threaten their business

Assalamualaikum don’t get me wrong please. I didn’t mean Sheikh Uthaymin’s view is wrong. What I meant is that if he is still alive, this issue could be further discussed and debated taking into account current situations, checking the facts about the slaughterhouses and their practices from different sources - Muslims and non-Muslims , etc who live in UK, USA, Australia and other places. Did sheikh Assim or sheikh Uthaymin get their information from primary or secondary sources? This is really a serious issue so it is really worth going discussing it with other scholars from different countries who also live in these western countries. I live in Australia and it worries me when I see the young Muslims going into MacDonalds and the like ordering meat burgers, or eating at outlets where they say they serve halal meat but at the same time they also serve pork. They probably get all the meat from the same butcher. Their understanding is as long as it is not pork, then the beef or lamb are halal to the Muslims. Shouldn’t we don’t question them where they get their meat - from the halal or non halal butcher?
I hv been following Sheikh Assim’s videos for a long time and you can say I am one of his fans but on this issue, I just feel really uncomfortable to accept his views. I do watch/ listen to other scholars too as a way of counter checking the different opinions. No scholars are correct 100% all the time, only Allah swt is. There are other scholars that made mistakes too at times due to lack of information or misinformation they received before they give their views, that’s ok because it is human to err. As Muslims, aint we encouraged to help each other in good deeds? May Allah swt forgive me if my posts hv given you or the sheikh the wrong idea abt my real intention or concerns.

Especially considering how McDonalds, Burger King and other major fast food chains have halal certifications in many countries such as Asia, I don’t know why Sheikh insists on eating from such establishments when they do not explicitly state halal in other countries.
Even if you disagree it's a valid opinion.
If you don't think it is valid then 1) you didn't listen or 2) you lack English skills or basic comprehension.
Sheikh is taking his judgement from Scholar Uthaymeen. If you had the chance to witness the knowledge from a true Alim, you would be amazed, they would make you feel like an illiterate child. May Allah increase us in knowledge.
That being said, Shaikh Assim Al Hakeem gave his sources, rationale, and wisdom. I doubt someone the likes of you or me have the right to even judge his point.
If maccies and BK said salah is haram will you listen to them, they cannot give verdicts on halal or haram

He is giving wrong information about the US president having to be a Christian. What constitution is he reading?🤔
@@sabazaidi9022 the constitution does not say the president can stay for 2 terms only. It doesn’t say a woman cannot be the president. It does not say an African American cannot be the president. (Exception Obama, and he is half black). It does not say president cannot be a jew. But all this is true.
Looks like its gonna take you more than a generation to see what is in-front of you. I feel sorry for you.
I rest my case
@@mubkhans don't twist the words. He clearly said that the US constitution requires the US president to be a Christian,hence the US is a Christian country. You do realize that that is wrong information, a Hindu is running this year for the presidential race. By his logic, he shouldn't even be allowed to run 🙄
@@sabazaidi9022 that hindu will never enter the white house. Never ever.
I dont agree america is a christian country. BUt i also know a non Christian will never become president. Ignorance is bliss. Believe what you have to. If you cannot tell between black and white its non of my fault.
Here are statistics from england and wales about their religion from 2021 census:
For the first time in a census of England and Wales, less than half of the population (46.2%, 27.5 million people) described themselves as “Christian”, a 13.1 percentage point decrease from 59.3% (33.3 million) in 2011; despite this decrease, “Christian” remained the most common response to the religion question.
“No religion” was the second most common response, increasing by 12.0 percentage points to 37.2% (22.2 million) from 25.2% (14.1 million) in 2011.
There were increases in the number of people who described themselves as “Muslim” (3.9 million, 6.5% in 2021, up from 2.7 million, 4.9% in 2011) and “Hindu” (1.0 million, 1.7% in 2021, up from 818,000, 1.5% in 2011).
Wales had a greater decrease in people reporting their religion as “Christian” (14.0 percentage point decrease, from 57.6% in 2011 to 43.6% in 2021) and increase in “No religion” (14.5 percentage point increase, from 32.1% in 2011 to 46.5% in 2021) compared with England and Wales overall
This is true, but countries like Poland, Eritrea, Russia and the US are different.
With All due respect to the Shaykh, the US Constitution does NOT say the President has to be Christian. The Constitution also does not say God in it. Only the Deceleration of Independence and some other documents. And there is no official religion in the US either. Other western countries might have these, but we do not in the US.
He is IGNORANT. Don’t take any Fatwa from him ; he only gives Faswa.
exactly. this sheikh is deviant and blind, but knows his followers are dumber so he can say stupidity and have them believe it, like US president needing to be christian. and other nonsense. this 'shiekh' is a deviant. you can clearly see it from this fake fatwa along with his other questions where you will notice 2 things. 1 of them is his tendency to attack other muslims who ask questions and trying to shame them. Just because he is popular doesnt mean you should trust him, just because he quotes Quran and Sunnah but twists it according to his own whims and this is how Shaytan misguides the Ummah. By using bought out fake scholars, which is exactly what ibn baz (his scholar) was. Seek knowledge with a clean heart, and Allah will make these fake scholars stench unbearable.
The Hadith you mentioned about eating without asking. Was this Hadith dated to before or after the ayat of impermissiblity of nonhalal food were revealed?
This doesn’t matter, nothing in the religion contradicts itssself
@@Chiratalg it does matter. Because time of revelation may abrogate something said by the prophet before Quran was revealed
It's funny when people ask this cause they want something to have a "halal" label and even then they technically have no insurance that it is in deed halal. The sheikh is right people just love to make things difficult for themselves....
You don't need to Investigate more if it says halal then it's halal inshallah.
If it says its halal but its not slaughtered in halal way then its not the fault of the consumer and no sin on him. If America was really christian and they dont mention the name of Allah or mention other gods then it would still be halal for the consumer. However, the default should be that it is not halal because America is no longer Christian, they are largely liberals and atheists.
not making things difficult… mcdonald’s do sell pork bacon.. it’s yelling pig’s intestines… even it was advertised…. a sheikh who hadn’t stepped to US for a number of yrs… n through his wisdom.. u gladly eat at mcdonald’s.. wake up… the food is contaminated even if the meat is halal.. pig’s lard.. pig’s intestines bacon.. c’mon .. it’s not like all these haram stuff is not mentioned when u order.. n don’t tell me u would eat mcdonald’s bt refused to eat at muslim’s restaurants or buy frm a legit halal butcher.. where’s ur jihad…?? u shd strive more as a muslim… this sheikh is instilling distrust among muslims… such a dodgy fella…
true, this opinion also might have something to do with all the muslims with OCD that the sheikh encounters, this level of pedantry and obsession isn't healthy for a muslim, there are much more important things to worry about.
@@rashidnassermartinez646 not ‘OCD’…. it’s clear that pig’s intestines bacon is served in mcdonald’s…. of cos muslims scared of food contamination… is eating swine haram or permissible… 🙃🙃🙃

Most of stuff how meat slaughter changed from 1997 and today
Like 90 percent changed
Jazak Allahu hayr for ur explanation
Everyone can make mistakes, or say something wrong accidentally
At the end of the day, you are what you eat. Food has a large role in our overall personality. If you don’t do some research into where your food comes from; you could be eating meat that was dead before slaughtering or from an animal that was abused before slaughtering. Allah is The Most Wise, when animals are abused or terrified before slaughtering their “fight or flight” hormones increase & high cortisol levels increase & when you consume those animals you adopt these hormones which have a big role on your own personality.
Horrible
I believe that too
this 'shiekh' is a deviant. you can clearly see it from this fake fatwa along with his other questions where you will notice 2 things. 1 of them is his tendency to attack other muslims who ask questions and trying to shame them.

Assalaamu 'Alaikum, Sheikh. Theoretically, just out of curiosity, can't the butcher be Majusi (Fire-Worshipper; they have evolved to become Parsi)? Sahih Bukhari says they are Ahlal-Kitaab, too. Please correct me, if I'm wrong.
When I was in Singapore in a couple of days. I only ask. This is pork or no. Because sometimes I didnot understand what can I eat and what I prohibit to eat. They always understand why I asking like that.
Barakallahu feek sheikh! May Allah reward you, preserve you, and forgive you.
I don't really see where the constitution says the president must be a Christian. Rather, the US Constitution states in Article VI, Clause 3: "No religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States." This was just to respectfully correct that point. Also worth mentioning the 1st Amendment to the constitution, which became known as the doctrine of the separation of church and state. Now it's believed that the "founding fathers" did that to keep religious freedoms but also to make it difficult for kingship to happen in America like was custom in the land they fled. So it's not that they themselves were atheists. That being said each state has their own constitution and ALL of them mention God at lease one time.
I'm not refuting anything the sheikh said, just bringing up a few things about the constitution which I've been taught.
May Allah forgive me for anything I may have said that was incorrect.
The Constitution also clearly states that the country was not founded on Christianity. A crucial point that Shaykh continues to omit. Kind of shows his ignorance to be honest and why his opinion on this matter should not be taken serious.
Yeah..this is why I was reluctant to post my comment.
I free myself from any comments that are in any way disrespectful to this beloved sheikh who has benefited me and countless others immensely.
I ask ALLAL to punish you Wahabis and Salafis that you are interpreting by your own knowledge and guiding people towards wrong path.
Among 4 sect of اهل سنه which Emam said that the meat sloutered by مشرکین ؛، کافران is Halal?

He refers to the majority of the people being people of the book thus its fine unlike say China or India
Every president in the United States has been Christian. Except Lincoln, who has a muddy case, and Jefferson, who later became a diest (belief in a non-specific God through logic)
Moreover, nearly 75 percent of Americans are either a Muslim, Christian, or Jewish. It is inarguable that America is not a Christian country.
He’s been having numerous bad fatwas that people have to start asking themselves “when do we stop listening to him”
Agreed
How to find halal food these days : Ask a non muslim worker in a non Muslim country is the food sold is halal or not
Sheikh I love you for the sake of Allah and I have benefited so much watching your lectures. But none of us are infallible. Regarding this issue, I am willing to take the opinion of sheikh Uthman ibn Farooq and would not recommend eating meat at the restaurants in the west. Allah knows the best.
People should do what they think is right. The key learning from this is to not judge people for their choices they make.
The United States is majority Christian , not atheist as she exclaims.
Which hadith is he referring to from 3:45-4:30?
Let’s not misunderstand the respected Sheikh, he is not asking every Muslim living in the west to just go out and start eating BK, KFC or MCD, rather he is still encouraging them to look for Halal meat. But he’s advising to not look down upon those who are eating at these chains in the west, in line with the Islamic ruling given by great scholars tht do allow this. I don’t think it could’ve been better explained than this. I hope everyone listens the complete clip to understand his viewpoint.
Salaam Alaikum. Question is, in whose name is the animal slaughtered? In the name of the father, the son and the Holy spirit ? Or in the name of the one one only true God, just like the people of the book that are mentioned in the Quran. The book ( the injil ) has been changed, edited and corrupted over time till this day, so the people of the book are not these Christians today, for they practise shirk by associating partners to Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala. Bring one Christian who believes in tawheed or worshiping Allah Alone. Even if today's Christians were to slaughter, in whose name do you think they will slaughter? We all know the answer and of course in the name of the father, the son and the Holy spirit. Now would you eat the meat of idolaters ?
The hadith Sheikh is referring to I believe, did also say that the people who provided the meat just embraced islam ( as mentioned in Sahih Bukhari)
Narrated by 'Aisha
A group of people said to the Prophet, "Some people bring us meat and we do not know whether they have mentioned Allah's Name or not on slaughtering the animal." He said, "Mention Allah's Name on it and eat." Those people had embraced Islam recently.
Sahih Bukhari Volume 7, Book 67, Number 416 :
So thoes given the meat weren't sure if they were aware of the ruling on slaughtering in Islam or not
The Prophet Muhammad SAW said that when we have doubt about something whether is halal or haram is better to leave it. Truth brings peace of mind and falsehood sows doubt.
May Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala forgive us our sins and guide us Ameen
The answer is in the video from 3:40 to 5:15
The Christian faith was already totally changed into trinity dogma (which happened between 3rd and 4th century) so in the time of the Prophet (swas) he didn't ask christians on who's name they slaughtered.. the conditions are met the moment they are Christian believers and they slaughtered the animal. It is also permissible in the case for Jewish people as well and their kocher meat.
And we also know that Christians today slaughter their animals like an Atheist would do so where is the difference? At least the Jews do it in a kocher way.

We have many Halal stores to buy meat in Belgium. Also we have many restaurants where meat is halal. 🙂
In my layman's opinion, wether it's slaughter by the people of the book if they cook it with the ingredients contaminated with haram then the meat is also haram, please correct me if I'm wrong.thanks sheikh!
We have our own halal certifying agencies run by knowledgeable people in England, in the US, and in Canada. Also in most European countries. So why do they not say we can eat macdonalds and Burger King?
This shaykh seems to have partial knolwedge only. Where did he study?
Our deen is precious, we cannot just listen to shaykhs who dont seem to have good and deep knowledge.
I don't think you listened to anything he said. I don't mean to be offensive i apologize if i come across as such.
@@Epic_Routesthis sheikh downplay other muslims.. trying to say even if someone is muslim.. how sure r u he recite basmallah or he maybe deviant… something wrong with this youtube sheikh… he shd advice muslims not to eat at a place where non halal food is also served.. eg bacon.. pig’s bacon is served in US mcdonald’s…. the food prepared might b contaminated…. he shd encouraged muslims to support each other.. b it in business or charity.. don’t tell me no muslim can cook burger in the US.. the place i reside.. we muslims cook a kick ass burger even tourists who came flocked to eat n approved… c’mon.. b supportive to ur muslim brothers..
i dont want to be offensive too but he got the points, the reason why muslims have halal certification is to ease muslims in finding halal foods, we just need to follow
and its in hadith for you to be firmed and leave the suspicion, that would be the best way
@@YaFazka My brother I understand what you are saying. Myself I try to buy halal meat I live close to a halal butcher place and Costco I go to has halal meat but Shekh Assims points still stand us muslims we not supposed to investigate, sure whenever you have doubt leave it but common sense should be exercised. Islam is not complicated. Remember story of Musa (a.S) when he told his people allah ordered them to slaughter a cow.
@@Epic_Routes Sheilh Asim has his own opinions, so do the others scholars but for me for this matter he should be referring to more scholars especially the jumhur, the more the better as the prophets told so (follow the majority)
the 1st matter i would ask, in the case of prophets and the sahabi’s the meat was offered to them NOT them looking for the meat/food. This aspect should be clarified clearly.
The other question is, is the people of the book today is the same people of the book in the past during the life of prophet.
my dear muslim brothers and sisters, regardless of what our sheikh said. i think we all can agree that meat in western nation isnt halal except from certified kosher or as usual certified halal. we can always opt for vegan options while we are there for visiting etc. from what i can understand, if our neighbour comes and brings food to greet us. we can consume it without doubt as sheikh mention. unless its pork of coz. Allah made islam so simple ,so beautiful that it's easy to follow. if i made a mistake please correct me as I'm just your humble average muslim.
Nothing can be more satanic than kosher or halal meat. You think the real God would accept this? You have been constatnly punished by the God for eating animals, especially kosher or halal - cursed meat.
this 'shiekh' is a deviant. you can clearly see it from this fake fatwa along with his other questions where you will notice 2 things. 1 of them is his tendency to attack other muslims who ask questions and trying to shame them.

"regardless of what our sheikh said" is where you lost me. If you disregard their opinions, then you probably follow your own whims and desires, which is exactly what the sheikh has warned against.
@@starsian sorry, im not a native speaker. maybe i said it wrongly. i follow shafie ,a stricter guidance on halal. unless its halal or kosher, i wouldn't dare it eat. im not dismissing what our sheikh said. to me the true ppl of the book is only jews besides islam. only a very² small groups of christians follows the dietary laws. just to be safe, tq for your advice brother. i try to follow the islamic guidance as faithful as i can.
@@kurt_styloewhat the Sheykh is saying isn’t valid
The asl is that the meats are haram until proven otherwise
Or a Jewish kosher market
What a great breakdown and response. Jazakulallah Khayr
I wish Muslim were this cautious about making a halal money, their salah, not consuming ribba.
May Allah protect us from the disease of people who played with thier book.
here's the difference between a Muslim fooling you about halal food, or being careless about it, and a non-Muslim doing so: the Muslim has an obligation of truth towards his Muslim brother. On the Day of Judgement, if he has fooled you in any way, he will have to compensate you for it and may also face punishment from Allah (swt). The Kaafir has no obligation towards you; he is already going to Hell. That's why it it better to choose to eat from a Muslim rather than a Kaafir, even though both might be giving you haraam or doubtful food.
This has nothing to do with what the other person is doing. You have totally misunderstood and made up your own logic. It's all about what Allah has made permissible and you and I am no one to make something Haram that Allah has made Halal.
Exactly
Ibn baz and ibn uthaymeen’s fatwas are available on islamqa: it clearly says that where it is NOT known how the meat was slaughtered in ahlul-kitab countries then we can say bismillah an eat it but where it is known with certainty that the meat was not slaghtered properly e,g electrocution, etc then it is not permissible to eat it. We all know from McDonald’s and other restaurants website that animals are electrocuted.it’s not secret.
Additionally, just because electrocution is used to stun, surely this is not acceptable? Not all the animals survive this process.
What is electrocuted?
For example myself I eat chicken from Chick-fil-A
In my investigation it is Christian owned, they slaughter the chickens after stunning them unconscious, followed by slaughtering them dead so it’s not dead/Haram meat and they are Christian.
However someplace like McDonald’s I don’t eat
@@koray8081 your assumption of an exception doesn’t trump the rule
In my opinion, if we generalize eating at restaurants which don't provide halal meat, what would happen to the halal slaughter house/restaurants?? Doent that mean we are discouraging those places? We, as muslims should be proud of our identity and culture. Allah will definitely give barakah to people who leaves these gray areas for the sake of Allah
There was another video which I saw months ago that was made by Mulla Disco. The topic was similar.
A simple way to go about this issue, given the circumstance you are in, choose the most halal option you have that removes any was was
In a non-Muslim area but there are clear halal alternatives? Take the halal alternatives
Don't have any halal alternatives? Choose seafood, vegetarian, bread or vegan options
None of those in the area? Choose a place that's Christian or Jewish that doesn't have pork
You somehow know they slaughtered in a way that's haram? Again, what are your alternatives in the area, because Allah has already mentioned that if you don't have any other option, then it is permissable to eat haram just enough to sustain you (don't gorge yourselves)
Syeikh is saying it's permissable, doesn't mean its wajib you eat at these places. No one is forcing you to eat at these places if it makes you uncomfortable
Allah loves the believers that strive to do their best, so just do your best in your situation. And don't make Islam hard when it's a simple religion by doing forensics on the food if someone just wants to give you food (like the hadith syeikh quoted)
Found out it was haram after the fact? Seek forgiveness from Allah, for Allah forgives those that did not know
The part you say if you have no option you can eat Haram is not true! When you can eat Haram is only when you are dying and you don't have any food of any type. Not when you are lacking meat and you have all other food types.
"if you don't have any other option, then it is permissible to eat haram just enough to sustain you" -> It only applies in the matter of life and death and not everyday situations. We can eat Veg, Vegan food, and Sea Food still survive. It's not a must.
Brothers, not eating or fasting is an option. If you don't eat for 3 days and there's nothing else, you're telling me to not eat haram when it's the last and only option?
If you don’t have an option… meaning you’re starving to death and you only have haram meat to eat
@@unluckyrazinwe’ll yes In that case you can eat it but that’s not what you originally said
There is very little halal being practiced today.
The bigger the beard of the shaikh means not that he is a better or the best amongst the shaikhs. 😊
