Halalness of slaughtered people of the Book from the point of view of Islamic commentators with emphasis on the interpretation of Tasnim and Al-Mizan (based on verse five of Surah Ma'idah)

Is the slaughtered animal by the people of the book lawful or not? This issue has been the subject of controversy among commentators and jurists for a long time. Muslim jurists are divided into two groups regarding this issue,  few Shia jurists and the majority of Sunni jurists believe that the animal meat slaughtered by the People of the Book is lawful while the majority of Shia jurists consider the slaughter of the People of the Book to be haram. In this article, the opinion of two great  Shia commentators, Allameh Tabatabai, and Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, has been explained. These commentators believe that the sacrifices of the people of the book are valid, But the meaning of the word "food" is the source of their different opinion. Allameh believes that what is meant by food is grains and does not include the ritual sacrifices of the people of the book, and Ayatollah Javadi Amoli, with Quranic and customary arguments, as well as internal evidence and verses, states that food does not mean specifically barley and wheat.  It includes cooked and raw food. As a result, the verse provides the solution of food prepared by the People of the Book, both slaughtered and non-slaughtered. Accordingly, the argument requires two things: 1. Purity of the people of the book; 2. Their slaughtered animal to be lawful
