What meat is lawful to eat?

It is permissible to eat the meat of animals slaughtered according to Islamic law (dhakah shar'iyyah), which means the animal permissible for consumption is slaughtered or sacrificed by a Muslim or a person of the Book. It is also permissible to eat fish and locusts without ritual slaughter. However, it is forbidden to eat what has been slaughtered by a non-Muslim or someone who is not of the Book, or what has died by electrocution, strangulation, or similar means, even if done by a Muslim or a person of the Book.
