Can We Eat Kosher Meat Due to the Unavailability of Halal Meat?

Answered by Ustadh Farid Dingle

Question

When no halal meat is available, is it permissible to eat Kosher meat?

Answer

Thank you kindly for your important question.

Yes, it is halal to eat Kosher meat even if meat slaughtered by Muslims is available. This is because Kosher meat is halal.

Allah Most High says, “The food of the People of the Book is lawful for you and yours is lawful for them.” [Quran, 5:5]

Is Kosher Meat Upon Which God’s Name Has not Been Pronounced Permissible?

I pray this helps.
