The ruling on slaughtering the 'Id sacrifice and other animals with an electric knife
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The question: There is another section, Your Eminence Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz, regarding the ruling on slaughtering the 'Id sacrifice or a sacrificial animal with an electric knife?
The answer: We do not know of an electric knife. If the electric knife, with the invocation of Allah's name, cuts the windpipe and the esophagus, thereby effecting the slaughter, then there is no harm. If it is a real knife that cuts the windpipe and the esophagus, whether by electricity or by hand, with the invocation of Allah's name—where one says the name of Allah and performs the act—then there is no harm.
The presenter: May Allah reward you.
