QUESTION:

Here in Kenya it is said that all the meat is halal. However, there are beef
sausages made by an American Co. which many Muslims including our own
brothers are eating. Are we allowed to eat these sausages?

Secondly are we allowed to buy halal meat from a non-Muslim shop?


ANSWER:

If we are certain that the meat in Kenya is halal, then that meat will be
halal to consume regardless of whether it is bought from a Muslim or a
non-Muslim.
The beef sausages made of such halal meat is halal to consume.

Now as far as the American Co. product is concerned, it is difficult to give
a specific ruling. One has to find out for oneself whether no extraneous
najasat is used to prepare such sausages. This is important because the
makers are non-Muslim and to them Najasat/Taharat may not pose any question.
