I was not raised eating zabiha meat. But I switched, alhamdulillah.
I was at a Zaytuna program a couple of years ago and Shaykh Muhammad al-Ya’coubi and Imam Zaid both were emphasizing the importance of watching what one puts in his or her body. I also remembering the hadith of the dusty wayfarar who raises his hands to God pleading yet God will not respond because his income and food are haram.
At some point, I did some research regarding what the scholars have said and I realized that I should play it safe. So– I switched. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life. It was good for my health and soul.
