:: Halal Animal Slaughter ::

Assalam Alaikum,


Dr. Bilal Philips spoke about the method used in islamic animal slaughter and using comparative methods used in usual non-islamic slaughtering. Below are some points taken from the lecture.


The usual "Humane" way used in the industries to kill animals for consumption:
  • electrifying the small animals for consuming
  • using stun gun to shot the big animals.

Islamic way of killing animals for consumption:
  • Razor sharp knives are used to cut the jugular veins and oesophagus of the animals' necks
  • Spinal cords are intact as such, signals from the brains still go to the hearts of the animals
  • Animals will die slowly where the blood comes out of the bodies
  • Painless death

W'salam,
Khadijah C.

  1. khadijah,
    i thought animals die quickly (rather than slowly) when slaughtered the Islamic way (cut jugular veisn and aesophagus)?

  2. Salam Mynie! =D

    That's a great qn! I didnt really thought about it~

    Anyway, I checked and apparently, the animal does not die quickly... But it does not feel pain immediately when the veins are cut... =)

    I got it on my next post~
