Is it permissible to eat meat not slaughtered in the Islamic way due to the necessity of studying for a culinary profession?
It is impermissible to consume pork or meat slaughtered unlawfully, such as by electric shock, due to explicit textual prohibitions. It is also impermissible to be present in places where such meats are cooked, as this constitutes an endorsement of evil. Therefore, one must avoid studies related to this field to prevent endorsing evil and touching impurities, and out of fear of falling into temptation. The necessity that permits forbidden things is that which makes it highly probable for destruction to occur or for an unbearable hardship to arise, or the inability to achieve the minimum standard of living. This does not apply to the aforementioned specialization.
