The slaughter (dhakāt) of the People of the Book is valid if they adhere to the regulations of Sharia, based on the Almighty's saying: "The food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you." If it is highly probable that the meat found with a Jew is ritually slaughtered (madhkā), then there is no harm in buying from him, while being cautious of their deception and betrayal.
