Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

(Fatwa: 565/565=M/1429)

By ?killed by Christians? if you mean that they, instead of slaughtering animals in lawful way, kill them by strangulating or electric shock etc, then this is undoubtedly unlawful and haram, as it is maitah (carrion). And, if by killing you mean to slaughter or hunt, then also it should be avoided to eat meat slaughtered by Christians as today?s Christians or Jews are not following their religions.

Q. Assalamualikum, I have noticed many of our Muslim brothers engage in habits such as smoking cigarrettes, and consuming other tobacco products (chewing tobacco, ghutka, etc.). I would like to know are these habits halaal in Islam? Because in reality you are poisoning your body just like you would by drinking alcohol. Also, many cigarettes contain alcohol so is it ok to tell brothers to not smoke for this reason? (2) Finally, what is the ruling on opiates in Islam? Jazakallah Khair 2490 views
