Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The Druze are an esoteric sect that deifies Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah. They are not adherents of a heavenly religion nor are they People of the Book. Therefore, it is impermissible to eat the meat of animals slaughtered by them, because one of the conditions for the validity of a slaughter () is that the slaughterer be an adherent of a heavenly religion (a Muslim, a Jew, or a Christian).
