Anesthetizing animals before slaughter
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa No. ( 18476 )
Q1: Is it permissible to eat the meat of animals that are slaughtered after being anesthetized ? For your information, Germany has laws and conditions regarding slaughter, and the government will not allow anyone to slaughter any type of animal unless it is anesthetized first.
A1: If the animal is still alive after being anesthetized and is slaughtered according to the Islamic method, then it is lawful. However, if it dies from the anesthesia, then it is forbidden, and the slaughter does not benefit it after its death. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
