Fatwa #97596 October 2003United States of America

Mcdonals,taco bell,etc.Is the nonzabiha food haram?I heard only hanafi fiqh says it is but people say that all 4 madhabs say it is haram.Can you give me proof from all 4 madhabs saying its haram?

Answer

According to the Shari?ah, non-Zabiha meat (meat of animals not slaughtered according to the Shari?ah) is Haraam (strictly prohibited)

This is a unanimous ruling of all the Madhaahib (schools of thought). Any food outlet, including McDonalds, tacobells, etc. which sells non-Zabiha meat is not permissible.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
