Hadith 11

(The book) ‘Al-Qurb Al-Asnaad’ – from Abdullah Bin Al-Hassan, ‘From Ali son of Ja’far-asws, from his brother-asws Musa-asws, said, ‘I asked him-asws about slaughter by the Jews and the Christians, ‘Is it Permissible? ’ He-asws said: ‘Eat what a Name of Allah-azwj has been mentioned upon’. And I asked him-asws about slaughters by the Arab Christians. He-asws said: ‘They aren’t people of the Book, so their slaughters are not Permissible’’. [19]
Explanation – It is reported by the Sheykh in (the book) ‘Al-Tehzeeb’, from Abu Baseer, from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Do not eat slaughter by Christians of (clan of) Taglib, for they are Arab Polytheists’’. [20]

Or because they were not knowing the conditions of being the Zimmy like what is reported that Umar had doubled the tithe upon them and had lifted the tax from them, or because they had become Christians within, for they were renegades like what is mentioned by the second martyr. And the Sheykh said in ‘Al-Khilaf’, ‘When we say that slaughters by people of the Book and of the ones opposing is not allowed, so the slaughters by Christians of Taglib are included in their total, and Al-Shafie had paused upon Christians of Taglib, and Abu Haneefa said, ‘Their slaughters are Permissible’. Our evidence is what evidence we have already provided. And also, Ali-asws and Umar had spoken with Prohibition of their slaughters, and there is no opponent for them, and there are two reports from Ibn Abbas – end. And what is apparent from speech of Al-Shafiies regarding this subject. They said the females of people of the Book, the one whom it is allowed for the Muslim to marry her, by their claim, it is not vacant that she may not be from the children of the children of Israel or being from th
