Is it permissible to eat beef and chicken from markets in Korea, a country whose people are not People of the Book, given the existence of stores that sell Islamic-slaughtered meat, but it is difficult to cook from them daily? And is it permissible to eat from American restaurants like KFC, which claim that their beef and chicken come from America (People of the Book)?

It is prohibited by scholarly consensus to eat the meat of an animal slaughtered by someone who is not a Muslim or a Person of the Book. However, what is slaughtered by the People of the Book is permissible, provided it is confirmed that the slaughterer is indeed a Person of the Book and that the animal was slaughtered according to the prescribed Islamic method. Therefore, a Muslim should avoid the meat slaughtered by Koreans due to their not being People of the Book. One should also be keen on consuming what does not require slaughter, such as fruits and fish, or what has been slaughtered according to the Islamic method. It is permissible to eat meat from American restaurants if it is confirmed that the slaughterer is a Person of the Book or a Muslim, and that the slaughter is lawful. However, it is advisable to refrain from such meats due to the frequent doubt regarding the slaughterer's religion and their slaughtering method. It is also recommended to adhere to divine revelation, mosques, and good company to preserve one's faith in lands of disbelief.
