It is permissible to eat meat slaughtered by the People of the Book

***** It is permissible to eat meat slaughtered by the People of the Book





قال ابن قدامة رحمه الله:



( أجمع أهل العلم على إباحة ذبائح أهل الكتاب ؛ لقول الله تعالى : ( وَطَعَامُ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ حِلٌّ لَكُمْ ) المائدة/5 ؛ يعني : ذبائحهم . قال البخاري : قال ابن عباس : طعامهم ذبائحهم . )



(المغني 13/293 .)



Ibn Qudaamah said:

The scholars are unanimously agreed that it is permissible to eat meat slaughtered by the People of the Book, because Allah says:



وَطَعَامُ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ حِلٌّ لَكُمْ



“The food (slaughtered cattle, eatable animals) of the people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians) is lawful to you”

[al-Maa'idah 5:5].

Al-Bukhaari said: Ibn ‘Abbaas said: “Their food” means meat slaughtered by them.



Al-Mughni, 13/293.
