Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on slaughtering the 'Id sacrifice while the other sheep are watching?
Answer:
No, this is not permissible. If you slaughter, then make the slaughter good, and if you kill, then make the killing good. Let one of you sharpen his blade and let him show mercy to his sacrificial animal. It is not permissible to torment animals by slaughtering some while others watch. This is not permissible; it is torment. Yes.
