Question
Please explain the objective of the legal action against SANHA and MJC. How can a non-Muslim court issue a Shar'i verdict? What other solution can there be for this dispute?
Answer
The court action is not to obtain a Shar'i ruling of halaal or haraam. The court action is a bid to prevent false advertising, deception and misrepresentation. The Scholars of The Truth are asking the court to rule that Early Bird, Sanha and MJC are deceiving the Muslim community. They are advertising non-halaal products as halaal. This action is merely to ask the court to prevent the deception. The court is merely being approached to decree that SANHA and MJC are speaking LIES and misleading the community with LIES by claiming that the chickens are halaal according to the Hanafi Math-hab.
The solution is only for the culprits to desist from deceiving the Muslim community. Furthermore, the Shar'i issue is not reliant on the court ruling. Regardless of the court's ruling, according to the Shariah the chickens are haraam carrion, and so it shall remain as long as SANHA and MJC halaalize carrion chickens.
