Anam 118-119
118- THEN EAT OUT OF WHAT ALLAH’S NAME WAS INVOKED ON IF YOU TRULY BELIEVE IN ALLAH’S AYAHS.
119- AND WHY SHOULD YOU NOT EAT OUT OF WHAT ALLAH’S NAME WAS INVOKED ON, WHEN ALLAH HAS DETAILED WHAT HE HAS FORBIDDEN YOU, UNLESS WHAT YOU HAVE BEEN COMPELLED TO DO. INDEED MANY PEOPLE MISLEAD PEOPLE DUE TO THEIR DESIRES AND WITHOUT KNOWLEDGE; ALLAH CERTAINLY KNOWS THE TRANSGRESSORS BEST.
Allah the Highest is telling us to eat of the animal which Allah’s name was invoked on, and not to eat of the animal which did not have Allah’s name invoked, or which has other than Allah’s name invoked on when slaughtered. This is detailed in the explanation of Sorah Baqarah 173.
If a Muslim is not sure whether Allah’s name was invoked on it or not, then he/she should invoke Allah’s name on it before eating. Allah’s messenger prayer and peace upon him was asked: “Allah’s messenger, some people from the desert bring us meat, and we do not know whether they invoked Allah’s name on it or not”. He said: “Then you should invoke Allah’s name and eat”. (Mal:Zabaeh;1 & B:Zabaeh;21 & D:Adahi;18 & Da:Adahi; 14)
This does not mean that we are allowed to eat dead animals. If an animal is injured, it is ok to slaughter it before it dies, and its meat can be eaten.
We are however allowed to eat or drink to forbidden foods in cases of compulsion such as:
- If there are not other food or drink and we to eat and drink to survive.
- If a Muslim fears for his life if identified as a Muslim by refusing to eat what Muslims are forbidden to eat.
We hear many opinions given about prohibitions now, usually given without knowledge or understanding. These unfounded opinions are often given in a firm and assertive way, which misguides many muslims.
Giving opinion on religious matters (Fatwa) should be on the basis of the Quran and the well authenticated Hadith only, and on the basis the principles and basis of Islamic Law. Giving such opinions is a great responsibility and a heavy burden which should not be undertaken by any one or taken lightly.
