Machine slaughter

DARULFATWA – The Academy for Key Islamic Rulings · Eid ul-Adha Slaughter – How and Why

The meat of an animal slaughtered by someone other than these three kinds of people is Islamically non-edible meat (maytah). One then understands that the mechanical slaughter done by the automatic machines renders the meat not Islamically edible.

Stunning

If the animal recovers and returns to its natural state after having been stunned, then the animal was slaughtered, it remains lawful (halal) to consume it even though at the time of slaughtering the animal was in a state where it cannot see or hear and is unable to move. This is because the shock in itself did not result in the animal’s death.

However, if the animal is deemed to be dead after being stunned, then is NOT fit for Halal consumption under the Islamic laws and principles of Halal slaughter, unless one is certain that the animal was alive at the time of the slaughtering, evidence of which would be the gushing or spurting of blood.

It has been observed that the cow is stunned on the forehead with a captive bolt which penetrates the skull or with a percussion stunning mushroom head (non-penetrating) before slaughtering. The bolt is driven into the animal’s brain, killing the animal and reducing it instantly unconscious. Proceeding to cutting the throat of these dead animals does not render them Halal.

However, in the case where sheep are electrocuted ahead of slaughtering and chickens are placed on automatic conveyer belts into a water basin with an electric current running through it ahead of slaughtering, two matters arise. If the electric current is enough to only temporarily incapacitate the animal before slaughtering, and providing that if left alone the animal will regain its strength and return to its original stand, it is permissible to proceed to slaughter the animal by hand and according to other Islamic rules, and to consume the animal after slaughtering. Hence, it is certified as Halal.

But, if the electric shock or electric current paralyses the animal to a state of death or near death such that in the absence of being slaughtered the animal will not regain its original stand but will die slowly, it becomes unlawful to consume from that animal if slaughtered. This is the case even if all other Islamic integrals are satisfied during its slaughtering process. Islam considers this situation like slaughtering a dead animal. Hence, it cannot be certified as Halal.

Processing doesn't purify (istihalah)

Certification Center "Halal" · Что запрещено употреблять в пищу?

И запрещено употреблять не только мясо свиньи, а также и ее кости, сало и прочее, даже в небольших количествах и даже после длительной обработки, когда продукт полностью меняет свой вид. Это же касается любой мертвечины.

Translation “And it is forbidden to eat not only the meat of the pig but also its bones, lard and so on, even in small quantities and even after prolonged processing, when the product completely changes its appearance. The same applies to any carrion.”

E-numbers (for reference only)

This is the E-number list published by DUMU, the body that controls halal.ua. We keep it for reference only and don't grade from it: it lists additives such as curcumin, citric acid and pectin as containing pork fat, which is not how they are made.

Certification Center "Halal" · Е- Код (Халяль, Харам) (islam.ua, official site of DUMU)

Многие добавки хоть и не являются свиным жиром в чистом виде, но их основой является свиной жир или же при производстве этой добавки были использованы вещества, изготовленные из свиного жира.

Translation “Many additives, although they are not pork fat in pure form, have pork fat as their base, or substances made from pork fat were used in the production of the additive.”
