Is it required in ritual slaughter that the cut be made behind the protruding knob in the windpipe of the animal being slaughtered?

Question:
A message was received for the program from one of the listening brothers. He says: Your son, Abu al-Mundhir Isma'il al-Bashir, is a Sudanese resident in Qatar. He says in one of his questions: In Sudan, they require that the slaughter be made behind the *kharazah*, which is the protruding knob in the windpipe of the animal being slaughtered. If someone slaughters a beast and separates this *kharazah* from the head, people do not eat its meat. How valid is this statement?

Answer:
If the windpipe and the esophagus are cut, even if the *kharazah* is separated, there is no harm. If the windpipe and the esophagus are cut, the slaughter is valid. If the four are cut—the windpipe, the esophagus, and the two jugular veins—it is more complete and more complete, whether the *kharazah* remains or is cut with it. The matter is broad in this regard.

The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
