Questions on slaughtering with machines and guns, and what is sufficient in slaughter
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This statement is about a bullet that is not a pointed one, but a blunt one, and it is what is now known as air guns. Does this have the ruling of [slaughter] or not?
The Shaykh:
This causes the blood to flow. If it is fired, it causes the blood to flow in the gun, the machine, and others, yes. This is what is not valid.
The questioner:
An empty machine, meaning it does not suffice by striking the birds.
The Shaykh:
Yes, the bullet, because it is a piercing one with the force of its strike. Yes.
The questioner:
Even if they put a pointed one in it, if they fire it, and they put a nail or something pointed in it and fire it at a bird or a pigeon.
The Shaykh:
It appears to be up to a specific point, causing pain to a specific part.
The questioner:
One of the factories in our area collects the chickens, and then machines pass over them after being hit by the computer, may Allah reward you, automatically, and then they are killed, may Allah reward you. Is this permissible?
The Shaykh:
Specified, meaning slaughter.
The questioner:
There are specific areas here. Slaughtering, yes.
The Shaykh:
If he mentions the name of Allah over it, it is sufficient.
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe, the one above, everyone heard.
The Shaykh:
What Allah willed.
The questioner:
And if they set a target and killed them, is it delegated?
The Shaykh:
Do you slaughter it? No, it is carrion.
The questioner:
May Allah forgive you. If it is a beast, meaning a snake or a scorpion, and they put it down and found it, they placed it in a fire, and then they started beating it.
The Shaykh:
The apparent generality of the text suggests that one should not set a target. But if they killed it, there is no harm.
The questioner:
Regarding the slaughter of it, is it sufficient to cut the windpipe, or is it necessary to cut the esophagus?
The Shaykh:
The windpipe and the esophagus are the basis, and if the jugular veins are included, it is better. The four are the windpipe, the esophagus, and the jugular veins; this is the complete slaughter.
The questioner:
But may Allah keep you safe.
Another questioner:
He slaughtered it and named it while forgetting.
The Shaykh:
There is no harm with women.
