Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner says: If one slaughters a camel, is it obligatory to cut its throat between the head and the neck like sheep, or is it done by cutting the throat at the chest?

The Shaykh:
Why?

The questioner:
If one slaughters a camel, is it obligatory to cut its throat between the head and the neck like sheep and cattle, or is it done by cutting the throat at the chest?

The Shaykh:
By cutting the throat at the chest. The default for camels is that they are slaughtered by cutting the throat at the chest, not at the neck, but at the chest. [The verse] "To your Lord turn in devotion and sacrifice." Yes.
