Is it permissible for a woman to slaughter sheep and chickens?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A listener from Lebanon, Hasan al-Sanabitt—apparently—sent a message containing a collection of questions. In one of his questions, he asks: Is it permissible for a woman to slaughter an animal, whether it is from sheep, pigeons, chickens, or the like?

Answer:
Yes, there is nothing wrong with that, if she is skilled at it; there is no harm. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved a woman slaughtering an animal, so a woman is like a man in this matter, if she knows how to slaughter; there is no harm. Yes.

The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
