Question:
Assalam alikum Any food or drink touched by a non-muslim (if either the food or the person was not "Khushk") then it is najis and is prohibited to eat or drink. This ruling we knew since past so many years, but recently i was watching a lecture of a famous Islamic scholar in the West and while answering a question about this topic he said "A food or drink touched by a non-muslim is not najis unless we are sure that the non-muslim touched 'ain e najasat' and didn't washed himself after that" moreover he told that he has asked the same question from Ayatollah Naser Makarem Shirazi and he replied the same. Also he cited a reason that a person living in a country (like India, china, USA) would find it very difficult to live with, in case of assuming that food touched by non-muslim is najis. Kindly also tell about the opinion of majority of Marja in this issue. Please answer it soon. wassalam
Answer:
The Fatwa is the same that Mushrik is Najis. Fatwa does not change in
different countries. You must act upon the Fatwa of your Marjas' of Taqleed.

Question ID 770 Thursday 26th of September 2013
Question:
Asslam-oAlaikum, Quran says, one who does "SHIRK" he is "NAJAS". Chiristians do "SHIRK". So every Najas is Haram. Can we eat the food made by them which is wet. please clear my point. God Bless You.
Answer:
Most of our Ulama say that every non Muslim including Ahle Kitab, are not
Taahir, but you must follow your Marja' of Taqleed. Ayatullah Sistani says
that Ahl e Kitab are not Najis, although it is recommended precaution to
take them as Najis.
