Can I consume meat cut by Jews and Christians? Is my Salah valid if I wipe over regular socks during wudhu? Are machine slaughtered chickens Halal?
Question
I would like to ask if any of the four schools of thoughts allow the following or is it only the view of ahle hadith (salafi) brothers
1. Meat of jews and christians is allowed even today because ALLAH said it in Quran
2. Massah over regular socks is allowed
3. salah valid behind a person who has done massah over regular socks?
4. Machine slaughtered chicken is allowed if name of Allah was taken on it through recording
jazakallahkhair
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
All four schools of thought (Madhaahib) are unanimous on the prohibition of all four issues in the query.[1][2][3][4]

[2] لايجوز المسح على االجوربين عند ابي حنيفة الا ان يكونا مجلدين او منعلين و قال ابو يوسف و محمد يجوز المسح على الجوربين اذا كان ثخينين لا يشفان الماء (قدورى ص54 موسسة الريان)
ام المسح على الجوارب فلا يخاو اما ان يكون الجورب رقيقا غير منعل و فى هذا الوجه يجوز المسح بلا خلاف و المراد من الثخين ان يستمسك على الساق من غير ان يشده بشي ولا يسقط فاما اذا كان لايستمسك و يسترخى فهذا ليس بثخين فلايجوز المسح عليها و ام اذا كان ثخينا غير منعل لايجوز المسح عليه عند ابي حنيفة رحمه الله و عندهما يجوز و فى النصاب و عليه الفتوى (تاترخانية ج1 ص406 م زكريا)
و المسح على االجوربين اذا كان مجلدين كالمسح على الخفين لانهما كالمسح على الخفين لانه يمشى فيهما كما يمشى فى الخفين وان كان غير مجلدين و هما صفيقان لايشفان فان ابا حنيفة قال لايمسه عليهما و قال ابو يوسف و محمد يمسح عليهما (مختتصر الطحاوى ج1ص455 دار البشائر)

وَأَمَّا شَرَائِطُ الرُّكْنِ فَمِنْهَا أَنْ تَكُونَ التَّسْمِيَةُ مِنْ الذَّابِحِ حَتَّى لَوْ سَمَّى غَيْرُهُ وَالذَّابِحُ سَاكِتٌ وَهُوَ ذَاكِرٌ غَيْرُ نَاسٍ لَا يَحِلُّ؛ لِأَنَّ الْمُرَادَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى {وَلا تَأْكُلُوا مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ} [الأنعام: 121] أَيْ: لَمْ يُذْكَرْ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ الذَّابِحِ فَكَانَتْ مَشْرُوطَةً فِيهِ.
