The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on slaughtering camels while they are lying down? And is it wrong to criticize the one who uses this method?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not wrong to criticize the one who does it. The important thing is that he slaughters it with the lawful slaughter, whether it is lying down or standing. However, having it stand is easier for it; it is easier for the camel that he slaughters it while it is standing.
The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Standing, meaning upright with its right hand tied, yes.
