What is the ruling on eating chicken slaughtered Islamically by a Muslim, if it was cooked by a non-believer who uttered a word of disbelief but prepared the food in the Islamic manner?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

There is no harm in eating this food as long as the chicken was slaughtered according to Islamic rites. The word of disbelief from a disbeliever does not change anything about its status. What is forbidden from the food of disbelievers is that which requires ritual slaughter if it is slaughtered in a way that contravenes the legal slaughter. As for what a Muslim or a person of the Book has slaughtered according to legal slaughter, there is no harm in consuming it, regardless of who prepared it.
