Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was asked whether the slaughtered animals of the Christians of Arabia are permissible or not. He replied: They are permissible, and then recited this verse «﴿وَمَنْ يَتَوَلَّهُمْ مِنْكُمْ فَإِنَّهُ مِنْهُمْ﴾» "Whoever among you takes them as friends, then surely he is one of them."
