Is it permissible for women to slaughter birds?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner (A. A.), an Egyptian national, asks: Is it permissible for women to slaughter birds, or lawful meat? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with it for women, nor for men. A woman may slaughter, and a man may slaughter a sheep, chicken, pigeon, or anything else that Allah has made lawful. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) approved the slaughter of a woman when she slaughtered, provided she is skilled in slaughtering. So there is nothing wrong with it; it is not exclusive to men. If she is skilled in slaughtering, she slaughters the animal at the prescribed place of slaughter with a sharp knife. There is nothing wrong with it, just as with a man; there is no difference in that. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
