Ruling on slaughtering while facing a direction other than the qiblah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A message from a listener (E. M.) from Jeddah says: I called the butcher to slaughter an animal for me, and he slaughtered it facing north. Does that have any effect?
Answer:
It has no effect; there is no blame in that. It is better to face the qiblah, but if he slaughters it facing a direction other than the qiblah, the slaughter is valid; because facing the qiblah is recommended, and it is not obligatory. Yes.
The presenter: Praise be to Allah, may Allah reward you with good.
