Summary
Muslims who ate imported meat before the doubt over its halal status arose are forgiven. Imported meat carrying a halal logo from a recognised authority is originally halal, and that status remains until evidence changes it. The excuse applies because the act was unintentional, on condition that the halal logo on the packaging was checked beforehand.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Umat Islam yang telah memakan daging import sebelum timbul isu syubhah daging import yang berlaku baru-baru ini, maka hukumnya adalah dimaafkan.
