Eating impure meat in UK
Fatwa No: 83427

Question

My sister is studying in United Kingdom now, and she wanted me to ask you relating Halal food. In the city where she is now, Bristol, she can't find any Halal meat but in an unsafe and danger area of Bristol and the Halal meat of that shop is not trustworthy. She is studying there and as a woman especially she has to take extra proteins after her monthly matter in which she loses blood. She used to don't care about this matter as she always lived in an Islamic country, but now she funds it a problem.- Is it allowed to eat impure meat by saying Bismillah before eating... in her special situation?- If she could eat this impure meat due to her special situation, should she make any bad action like Syam day as expiation?- If she could buy Halal meat in that shop which is in an dangerous and far area specially for a woman, how could she trust that the meat is Halal if she doesn't trust the owner's word?- Is allowed to eat that impure meat from time to time as minimum in her special situation, in order to take the least animal protein she needs for life and study?- What extreme situation she should to be in order to eat impure meat, if in her situation is not allowed to eat impure meat?Please I would appreciate a fast answer if possible.
