The ruling on separating the head of a slaughtered animal before it dies
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, when performing the ritual slaughter of an animal, is the head separated immediately, or is it left for a short time after cutting the throat until the blood comes out?
Answer:
No, it is disliked to separate the head while the animal is still alive, because this increases its suffering. Rather, it should be left until it dies, and once it has died, its head is separated. For this reason, they say it is disliked to cut off its head before it cools down, meaning before it dies.
