Halaal status of meat products exported from Brazil

· 23 Jumada II 1446 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

As we are aware, Brazil exports meat and meat products worldwide. Even within the Arab countries, these products are exported and, according to my information, they are halaal certified. As a result, many Muslims consume these products.

However, I have noticed that our Ulama forbid consuming them. I have some questions regarding this:

1. What is the position of our Ulama on Brazilian chicken, regardless of the brand?

2. Are there certain brands that are genuinely halaal?

3. On what basis is meat exported to Muslim countries and certified as halaal?

4. Why do our Ulama and the Arab Ulama differ on this matter?

Answer

If these slaughterings do not conform to the standard shar`ee procedure then how can we call it halaal.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
