Question #274:

Is it permissible to eat meat which is imported from non-Islamic countries? And what is the ruling regarding its purity?

Unless its ritual slaughtering is known for sure, eating it is ḥarām. However, as far as purity is concerned, if one is not certain that it has not been slaughtered ritually, it is considered pure.
