The Muslim slaughters a chicken and its head falls off its neck during the slaughter
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q 2: What is the ruling on a Muslim slaughtering a chicken, for example, and its head falling off its neck during the slaughter because the knife is sharp, and is it permissible to eat it in Islam?
A 2 : It is obligatory when slaughtering to cut the windpipe and the two carotid arteries, then the slaughterer should leave it for a short time until its blood comes out and it cools down. However, if the head is cut off at the very beginning due to the sharpness of the knife, there is no blame on him for eating it. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
