Is it permissible to accept a "halal" certificate issued by the Islamic Association of China and stamped by the Islamic Association of China, which states that chicken meat in a restaurant run by non-Muslim workers is slaughtered according to Islamic rites?

Some jurists have stipulated that the statement of a disbeliever, "I bought the meat from a Kitabi (person of the Book), so it is permissible," is acceptable. And it is even more so if he says, "I bought it from a Muslim or a Muslim slaughtered it." Although the ruling on the permissibility or impermissibility of meat falls under the category of religious matters, and the statement of a disbeliever is not independently acceptable in this regard, his statement "I bought" falls under the category of transactions, in which the statement of a disbeliever is acceptable. Thus, his statement is implicitly accepted. Nevertheless, do not rely solely on the word of the disbeliever restaurant owner. Verify with the Islamic center itself, and ascertain that the center is not lenient in issuing certificates, especially in a time when trustworthiness has been lost. Seek what is lawful and distance yourself from doubts, for the best of your religion is piety. A servant does not reach the status of the pious until he abandons what is harmless for fear of what is harmful. Stay away from non-Muslim restaurants to safeguard your religion.
