Is it necessary for the meat we give to our pets to be slaughtered in a Halal way, or can we feed our pets meat that has been slaughtered unIslamically?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is not obligatory to feed our pets Halal meat or food, though it is better to do so if we can, but it is not Haraam to feed our pets non Halal food. Non Halal food is Haraam (not allowed) forus but not Haraam on animals.

Wassalam.
Is it permissible to eat Aqiqah meat from a non-Syed?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Yes. Aqeeqa meat is allowed from any one for any one. Parents of the child are advised not to eat from the Aqeeqa of their child. It is not Haraam for them to eat, but just Makrouh.

Wassalam.
Can a Syed accept Aqiqah meat from another Syed?
Zaid Alsalami

Bismihi ta'ala

Yes, of course he can. The only thing that is haram for a Seyid to take is 'sadaqah wajibah', like Zakat. 

Other than this, whether it is sadaqah mustahab, or aqiqah, or anything else is permissible and fine to take.

And Allah knows best. 
If a non-Muslim restaurant owner tells you that his meat is Halal, can you eat the meat? And if the non-Muslim is also selling pork and assures you the Halal meat won't touch the pork, could you still eat from there?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Non Muslim seller who claims that the meat he is selling or wants to sell is Halal can not be taken as an authentic evidence that the meat is really Halal. If Muslim tells you that his meat is Halal and you have no reason to doubt his statement, then you can take the neat as Halal.

Restaurants selling alcohol or pork can never be trusted as utensils and plates used in cooking or serving alcohol or pork  become Najis and and every other food put in Najis utensils and plates becomes Najis as well.

Wassalam.
