Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man bought a cow and slaughtered it. After the slaughter, it became clear that there was a small calf in its belly. The man slaughtered that calf along with its mother.
The question is: Is it permissible to eat the meat of the small calf along with its mother, given that it remained in its mother’s belly, which was dead and slaughtered, for about half an hour?
Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
The calf follows its mother. If it is slaughtered with the Islamic slaughter, it is lawful, and there is no need to slaughter it, unless it comes out alive. In that case, he has a choice: if he wishes, he slaughters it, and if he wishes, he leaves it. As for if it died due to the slaughter of its mother, it follows her, so it is lawful. Likewise, the offspring of a sheep or a camel: if its mother is slaughtered and it comes out dead, it has the same ruling as her, which is lawful. That is fine, there is no harm in it.
However, if it comes out alive, he has a choice: if he wishes, he slaughters it, and if he wishes, he leaves it and benefits from it. Yes.
