The answer

A Muslim is not permitted to use a ritually impure knife unless it has been thoroughly purified. Whatever part of the slaughtered animal is touched by it becomes ritually impure. It is permissible to buy halal meat and permissible items from shops that also sell impermissible things. If the halal meat becomes ritually impure, it can be purified.
