Meat In The US
Salam. I was watching a video of Ghamidi sahib where he said for meat to be halal it must:
(1) be slaughtered by a Muslim/Jew/Christian
(2) not be dedicated to anyone but Allah
(3) be drained of blood.
My question is, in the US it can be assumed the butchers are Christian (practicing/non-practicing) and that the meat is not dedicated to another deity. However, the blood is drained through other means, not the way we do in Muslim countries.
My question is, is this meat still halal? Or must blood be drained in the same way in Muslim countries?

The correct methodology for ‘تذكيه’ (tadhkiyah) is ‘ذبح’ (dhibh) or ‘نحر’ (nahr). ‘ذبح’ (dhibh) specifically concerns the cow, goat and similar animals, while ‘نحر’ (nahr) specifically relates to the camel and animals similar to it. ‘ ذبح (dhibh) means to cut the throat of the animal such that the gullet and the throat is slit open or to cut the throat and the jugular veins. ‘نحر’ (nahr) means to pierce the throat of the animal with a sharp edged weapon like a spear so that blood bursts out from the cut and the animal dies because of blood loss.
If it is not possible to adopt the above outlined prescribed methods of slaughter, then the Prophet (sws) has directed the believers to inflict a cut on the throat of the animal such that all the blood is able to drain away from that wound. Therefore, irrespective of the mode of slaughter, the rushing blood needs to be drained properly.

A Little Clarification: An animal which is slaughtered such that no name other Allah is invoked on it but the name of Allah is also not positively invoked while slaughtering also comes under prohibited category.
