Is it permissible for a woman to slaughter an animal herself?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : My master, does a woman have the right to slaughter?

The Shaykh : Why not? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Woman are counterpart of men. إنما النساء شقائق الرجال
Sunan Abi Dawud 236
And it is like that; she has the right to slaughter, even if she is menstruating...

The questioner : In some packages, there is wrapped meat that is frozen, and it is written on them that it was slaughtered according to the Islamic method...

The Shaykh : Have you heard about fish slaughtered according to the Islamic method? This is deception and promotion of goods.

The questioner : ... So who named it?

The Shaykh : Here comes the issue of poison, and the problem is solved.

The questioner : But why don't we, the people, demand of the government to bring the sheep alive and slaughter them here, instead of confusing our minds?

The questioner : Turkish meat, my brother.

The Shaykh : They say this Turkish meat is from the Islamic country of Turkey, with a pious people. Yes, indeed.
