The Ruling on a Woman Performing Ritual Slaughter

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question: Is it permissible for a woman to slaughter an animal? And is it permissible to eat from what she slaughters?

Answer: It is permissible for a woman to slaughter an animal just as it is for a man, as the Sunnah from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is authentic in this regard. It is permissible to eat from what she slaughters if she is Muslim or a Person of the Book, and she performs the slaughter according to the Shari'ah. Even if a man is present who could take her place in doing so, the absence of a man is not a condition for the permissibility of her slaughter.
