حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي قَبِيصَةُ بْنُ هُلْبٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : " إِنَّ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ طَعَامًا أَتَحَرَّجُ مِنْهُ ؟ ، فَقَالَ : لَا يَتَخَلَّجَنَّ فِي صَدْرِكَ شَيْءٌ ضَارَعْتَ فِيهِ النَّصْرَانِيَّةَ " .
Narrated Qabisah ibn Halb: A man asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: Is there any food from which I should keep myself away? I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Anything which creates doubt should not occur in your mind by which you resemble Christianity.

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
Benefit: It is not permissible in the Shari‘ah to entertain baseless doubts and suspicions regarding things that are lawful (halal) and pure.
This was the practice of Christian monks,
who, by falling into unnecessary doubts and suspicions, would declare things unlawful (haram) for themselves.
If one feels any doubt regarding something, one should refer to trustworthy scholars in order to reach the correct conclusion,
as to whether that thing is halal or haram.
However, if something is naturally unappealing, then there is no harm in avoiding it.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Among Jews and Christians, the legal ruling is that the animal should be slaughtered while taking the name of Allah, but nowadays Christians do not act upon this. If any Jew or Christian slaughters an animal while taking the name of Allah, then that slaughtered animal is lawful (halal).
➋ Any food in which neither meat nor anything derived from meat (such as fat or gelatin, etc.) has been used, if it is prepared by a non-Muslim, it is still permissible. Similarly, if the meat of an animal slaughtered by a Muslim is cooked by a non-Muslim, then it is permissible for a Muslim to eat it.
