Salam Sisters, I have a question regarding eating non-zabiha food in certain situations. I live in the USA and I have to admit I used to eat non-zabiha chicken like many muslims do but then at one point I felt so bad I gave it up and it's been a couple of months since I haven't had it. Now, I recently started working and my job is very tedious and mind-consuming as I work in IT, I also have to travel a lot and my shift is weird and that leaves me no time to cook food and if I eat out at work I have limited options as there are very few halaal places near my work...my question is is it ok to eat non-zabiha meat in certain circumstances...I am trying my best not to give up this practice but still want to clarify as I am having a hard time not eating proper nutritious food...any help in this regard would be appreciated. Thanks. |

You can look for ways to eat vegetarian. The main thing you need to get in protein and there are very good sources for that, like beans and nuts. I rarely eat meat for it not being halal (and a lotf omeat is not too good either). I eat a lot of salad at lunch. Can you cook at home and bring sandwiches? If you can bring lunch it saves a lot of money too.

It was proven in Saheeh al-Bukhaari from �Aa�ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) that some people came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said: �Some people bring us meat and we do not know whether they mentioned the name of Allaah over it or not.� He said: �Say the name of Allaah yourselves then eat.� I said: They (the people who brought the meat) were new in Islam and they were not sure whether they said the name of Allaah (when slaughtering the meat) or not. So he said: Say the name of Allaah yourself and eat. So it is permissible to eat even if we do not know whether the name of Allaah has been pronounced over the meat or not. Similarly it is permissible to eat even if we do not know whether it was slaughtered in the proper manner or not, because if the action was done by the appropriate people, the basic principle is that it is valid unless there is evidence to the contrary. If there comes to us meat that has been slaughtered by a Muslim, a Jew or a Christian, then we do not ask about it and we do not say, �How was it slaughtered?� or �Was the name of Allaah mentioned over it or not?� It is halaal so long as there is no proof that it is haraam. This is a way in which Allaah has made things easy for us. Otherwise we would have a problem every time some meat was offered to us, and we would have to ask, �Who slaughtered it? Does he pray or not? Did he say the name of Allaah over it or not? Did the blood flow or not?� and so on. But by the grace of Allaah, if an action is done by the appropriate people, then the basic principle is that it is sound and valid unless there is evidence to the contrary. See As�ilat al-Baab il-Maftooh, vol. 1, p. 77, by Shaykh Ibn �Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him). |

If you don't pray regularly, what you eat or do not eat is a trivial matter.
