The molvis say that as long as the owner of the butcher is a Muslim, it is sufficient to purchase meat from him.

Question

The molvis say that as long as the owner of the butcher is a Muslim, it is sufficient to purchase meat from him. Is there any difference when buying in a Muslim country? Please comment.

Answer

The prevailing circumstances must be taken into account nowadays when purchasing meat from butcheries. The word of the Muslim butcher and the fact of him being a Muslim are not sufficient nowadays. The word of these vile fussaaq and fujjaar traders who indulge in selling haraam meat is putrid, baseless and must be rejected. If the general and prevailing condition is that the butcheries trade in haraam meat, then it will be incumbent to investigate before purchasing meat.

Furthermore, when it has been established by the investigation of reliable Ulama that almost 100% of the meat and chickens sold commercially is haraam, then it will not be permissible to purchase such meat and chickens from traders.

In our era there is no difference between a Muslim country and a non-Muslim country. All countries are under domination of kuffaar law, and the populations of all Muslim countries are vastly fussaaq, fujjaar, and zanaadiqah. They have no real care for halaal and haraam issues. The rulers in all Muslim countries are munaafiqeen, zanaadaqah, murtaddeen and kuffaar. The vast majority of the molvis and sheikhs belongs to the ulama-e -soo' or juhala-e-soo' fraternity. Even laymen can see the putrid and evil moral condition of these molvis and sheikhs. The assurance given by such molvis is not valid. They halaalize carrion and haraam in the pursuit of monetary objectives. It is therefore, not permissible to rely on the words and assurances of such mudhilleen.
