Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I bear witness to Allah of my love for you for the sake of Allah. Secondly, I have questions and I hope you will answer them. The question is: Is it permissible to eat birds or rabbits, or anything that is brought by car, whether it died or not? And is it permissible to slaughter a bird by removing its head with the hand without a knife, as is done?
Answer:
Yes. If a bird, rabbit, sheep, or camel is struck by a car and dies from the impact, there is no harm. However, if it is caught after the impact while still alive and the name of Allah is invoked upon it according to the prescribed method, there is no harm in consuming it. And Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Ma'idah 5:3] and we seek refuge in Allah from [Al-Ma'idah 5:3] meaning that whatever you catch from these things while it is alive and you slaughter it, it is lawful. As for what dies before you catch it, it is carrion. And. The question.
Slaughter of birds, like the slaughter of other animals, must be done with a sharp tool that cuts the esophagus and the windpipe. A sharp tool, other than a tooth or a nail, such as a knife, iron, or a stone with an edge that cuts. That is, with something sharp that cuts the esophagus, cuts the windpipe, and cuts the jugular veins. The esophagus is the passage for food, the windpipe is the passage for breath, and the jugular veins are the passage for blood. It is necessary to cut them in the slaughter. As for cutting the head of a bird with the hand, this is not permissible, this is not permissible, and do not say that it is not cutting; this is not cutting, and the legal authorities do not accept this. Also, this is a form of torture upon the animal. And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan an-Nasa'i 4412Sahih (Darussalam) "When you slaughter, slaughter well, and when you kill, kill well. Let one of you sharpen his blade and let him be kind to his animal." Therefore, it is not permissible to torture a bird or an animal during slaughter. One should be kind in the slaughter and make it a comfortable slaughter, a lawful slaughter.

Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine
