Is it permissible to eat meat killed by a Christian?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Darulifta-Deoband.com
Can we eat meat killed by a christain?

Answer

(Fatwa: 565/565=M/1429)

By ?killed by Christians? if you mean that they, instead of slaughtering animals in lawful way, kill them by strangulating or electric shock etc, then this is undoubtedly unlawful and haram, as it is maitah (carrion). And, if by killing you mean to slaughter or hunt, then also it should be avoided to eat meat slaughtered by Christians as today’s Christians or Jews are not following their religions.
