قَالَ اللهُ جَلَّ ثَنَاؤُهُ: {وَطَعَامُ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ حِلٌّ لَكُمْ} [المائدة: 5]. قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: وَكَانَ طَعَامُهُمْ عِنْدَ بَعْضِ مَنْ حَفِظْنَا عَنْهُ مِنْ أَهْلِ التَّفْسِيرِ ذَبَائِحَهُمْ، وَكَانَتِ الْآثَارُ تَدُلُّ عَلَى إِحْلَالِ ذَبَائِحِهِمْ..
Allah, glorified be His praise, says: "And the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you." [Surah al-Ma'idah: 5]
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "And according to some of the people of tafsir from whom we have preserved (knowledge), their food means their slaughtered animals, and the reports also indicate that their slaughtered animals are lawful."

أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى، أنبأ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الطَّرَائِفِيُّ، ثنا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: طَعَامُهُمْ ذَبَائِحُهُمْ. وَرُوِّينَا عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ وَمَكْحُولٍ.
Ali bin Abi Talhah narrates from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that their food means their slaughtered animals.
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الرُّوذْبَارِيُّ، أنبأ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ النَّحْوِيِّ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ: {فَكُلُوا مِمَّا ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ} [الأنعام: ١١٨]، {وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ} [الأنعام: ١٢١]، فَنَسَخَ وَاسْتَثْنَى مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ: {وَطَعَامُ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ حِلٌّ لَكُمْ وَطَعَامُكُمْ حِلٌّ لَهُمْ} [المائدة: ٥].
Ikrimah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): "So eat of that over which the name of Allah has been mentioned" [Surah al-An'am: 118], "And do not eat of that over which the name of Allah has not been mentioned" [Surah al-An'am: 121]. But He made an exception to it: "And the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you, and your food is lawful for them" [Surah al-Ma'idah: 5].
