Alhamdulilah :)
:salam2: brothers and sisters
I know many Muslims who eat from fast food restaurants on a daily basis, I myself eat from them from time to time; However I have heard that we as Muslims shouldn't because we don't know how the animal was slaughtered and if it was slaughtered in the name of Allah so this can make it haraam. And then I have also heard that no, since the U.S is mostly Christians, and we can eat meat of Christians that it is ok, and halal to eat from restaurants and fast food restaurants assuming that the animal was slaughtered and prepared by a Christian person/company. Restaurants Im talking about include but not limited to: mcdonalds, burger king, chipotle, taco bell, jack in the box, and all other small local fast food restaurants.
Please give me your opinions, suggestions/ and recent fatwas if you know of any concerning this issue. I would just like to know so I can stay away from any haraam food in the future inshaaAllah. And may Allah forgive me for the past Allahuma Amin.
