The Sheikh based his ruling on the assumption that America is a country of Ahl al-Kitaab. He was told by one of his students that there was a mixture of Ahl al-Kitaab, communists, atheists, what-have-you here, and he said, if that is true, then it is not halal for you if you doubt the religion of the slaughterer. The Lajnah has passed the same fatwa.


Sadly, the Kingdom does not care about revised fatawa and imports meat slaughtered by Allah -knows-who in Brazil in bulk. It even has meat that is directly imported from Europe and the USA. I was shocked to find "Oscar Mayer" brands of meat being sold at Tamimi supermarkets. It has become such an epidemic in the Kingdom that people have difficulty finding halal meat in Makkah Mukarramah and Madinah Munawwarah. When I was in Makkah a few months ago, I had to stick to one restaurant and the same at Madinah. I was fortunate enough to find restaurants that served local chicken.
