Praise be to Allaah.
No, the meat available in the shops are NOT halaal for him. He has to look for halaal meat or abstain from eating meat. There are many “dalil” for this – but we are just mentioning one:
“Eat not (O believers) of that (meat) on which Allaah’s Name has not been pronounced (at the time of the slaughtering of the animal)” [al-An’aam 6:121]
