I wanted to ask Mr.Ghamdi about the issue of  non-zabiha meat (meat that has not been slaughtered according to Islamic  tradition). Is it permissible to eat non-zabiha meat? I ask this  question in light of two verses of the Qur&#8217;an that in my limited  knowledge point me in opposite directions. One talks about how the food  of <em>Ahl-e-Kitab<\/em> has been permitted while the other talks about  abstaining from food on which Allah&#8217;s name has not been pronounced.  Kindly advise me in this regard. <\/p>\n<h3>Answer<\/h3>\n<p>The food of <em>Ahl Al-Kitab<\/em>  was permitted simply because at the time of the Prophet (sws) they used  to slaughter animals based on their religious rules (Sharia) which  included pronouncing the name of God. Therefore there is no conflict  between the two verses.<\/p>\n<div> At  our time we know that Jews still very carefully follow their Sharia,  however generally Christians do not do this. Therefore in principle the  meet provided by Jews can also be consumed.<\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Farhad Shafti<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-02-13<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6294\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I  live in Memphis, USA.
