The slaughtered animals of Egyptian Christians are lawful for Muslims to consume, based on the Almighty's saying: ﴿This day [all] good foods have been made lawful for you. And the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them.﴾ (Al-Ma'idah: 5). What is meant by their food is their slaughtered animals.
