The answer

Fatwa no. 30538 recommends avoiding meat consumption in non-Muslim countries, with the exception of fish and meat sold in stores that slaughter according to Islamic rites, due to the questioner's doubt about the permissibility of the food.

Fatwa no. 31939 pertains to foods in supermarkets and clarifies that whatever is imported from the countries of the People of the Book and slaughtered according to Islamic law is permissible to eat, as is that whose status is unknown, based on the principle of permissibility.

Fatwa no. 31280 permits eating the slaughtered animals, foods, and products of the People of the Book unless their prohibition is highly probable, based on the principle of permissibility.

The aforementioned fatwas are based on the principle of preponderant probability, and these rulings apply to residents in the West unless they are compelled to consume prohibited items, as necessities permit prohibitions.
