Conditions of Ritual Slaughter
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa No. ( 242 )
Q: Brothers from a desert settlement belonging to a project purchased a sacrificial animal for the settlement. One of them approached the animal and, before beginning the slaughter, he invoked the name of the Most Merciful and said Allahu Akbar three times, then slaughtered it. The windpipe—known by the name we use for it—appeared in the neck, not from the side of the head. Some refused to eat it, while others ate from it. Is it lawful or not?

Whatever causes the blood to flow, eat it; it is not the tooth or the nail.
ما أنهر الدم فكل ليس السن والظفر
