Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: Is it permissible to eat the slaughtered animal whose head is cut off above the neck with a sword, and "In the name of Allah" is said?
Answer:
Yes, it is permissible to eat it if the blood flows out with the carotid arteries and spurts out. In this case, the blood will certainly flow and spurt out, but this is contrary to what is best. The best is to slaughter with a knife, and to do so gently with the animal. And because slaughtering it above the windpipe, they say, hastens its death and the loss of its life, and this is not in the interest of the slaughtered animal nor in the interest of the eating. But if it is slaughtered by the ordinary, lawful Islamic slaughter, that is more complete. Yes.
