Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The listener is Abdul Qadir Abu Bakr Yunus. He sent a message containing some questions, stating: "I slaughtered a chicken by severing its head from its body. What is the ruling on such an action?"
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with this slaughter. If you cut off its head with a knife, there is nothing wrong with it, just as if you cut off the head of a sheep, a camel, or a cow, there is nothing wrong with it. The point regarding slaughter is that if you cut off its head with a sharp object, such as a knife, there is nothing wrong with it. However, doing it with your hand is not permissible; that is strangulation. But if you cut it with a knife or similar sharp instruments, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
