The Ruling on Imported Chicken

Question :

What is the ruling on chicken meat which comes from abroad already slaughtered and frozen?

Answer:

If the chicken which is slaughtered abroad or any other frozen meat comes from the lands of the People of the Scripture, i.e. the Jews and Christians, then it is permissible, because the food of the People of the Scripture is permissible for us according to the evidence from the Noble Qur'an, as long as there is no known reason to forbid it, such as its being slaughtered in the name of other than Allah, or slaughtered without cutting the throat. However, if it comes from the land of the Zoroastrians or the communists or socialists, or any other idolatrous country, then it is forbidden and one may not eat it.
