Are the slaughtered animals of the People of the Book in America lawful, taking into consideration their method of slaughter and what is rumored about it?
Regarding the first question, knowing whether Christians in America slaughter meat is a question to be posed to the inhabitants of America or the relevant media. As for the second question, it is part of the etiquette of slaughter not to excessively cut so as not to cause excessive pain to the slaughtered animal. However, if that happens, the slaughtered animal is still permissible to eat according to the well-known opinions of the scholars. As for the third question, confining oneself to meat slaughtered by Muslims is safer and more cautious, especially when there is doubt about other meats, bearing in mind that the slaughtered animals of the People of the Book are permissible if they are slaughtered in a lawful manner and not offered to other than Allah.
