Resolution No. (223): "Ruling on the Slaughtering done in Amman Slaughterhouse"

Date Added : 18-12-2017

Resolution No. (223) (6/2016)By The Board of Iftaa', Researches and Islamic Studies:

 "Ruling on the Slaughtering done in Amman Slaughterhouse " 

Date: 5/ Sha`ban/ 1437 AH, corresponding to 12/ 5 /2016 AD.

 

During its sixth session held on the above date, the Board received a question from Amman slaughterhouse concerning the ruling of Sharia on the slaughtering done there? 

After deliberating, the Board decided the following:

Lawful slaughtering is that done to a living animal because Allah, The Almighty, Said (What means): "except for what you have sacrificed duly ." {Al-Mai`da/3}.  Also, The Prophet (PBUH) said: "and what you hunt with your untrained dog, and you find in a position that you slaughter it, then eat." {Agreed upon}. Besides, Al-Imam An-Nawawi said: "If a beast of prey has cut a sheep and its owner slaughtered it while it was alive, then it is lawful to eat from its meat, but if it wasn`t alive, then it is unlawful to eat from its meat." {Al-Majmou`}.

After it was made clear to us (Iftaa` Board) that the slaughtering carried out in public slaughterhouses is done to living animals, then, in principle, their meat is lawful and it is permissible to eat from it. And Allah Knows Best.

Summarized Fatawaa

Is it permissible for the doctor to uncover the hair of a female patient out of necessity?

It is only permissible for him to do so when there is no female doctor, and he should examine the patient in the presence of one of her Mahrams (unmarriageable kin).

Is it permissible for the big brother to force his sisters to wear Hijjab (Islamic wear) if their father didn`t do his part in this regard ?

All Perfect Praise is due to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds

The father`s attention should be drawn gently and politely, and the sisters should also be reminded with good words since Allah, The Almighty, Says (What means): "O ye who believe! Save yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is Men and Stones." [Al-Tahreem/6]. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible to trim the eyebrows if they become excessively long?

Trimming eyebrows is permissible if they become excessively long, yet; it is reprehensible. And Allah Knows Best.

Is it permissible to move a grave from its current location to another place, for example, from a garden in a home to a cemetery, knowing that the grave has been there for a long time, about fifty years?

It is not permissible to move the deceased from his grave, as this may result in breaking his bones and violating his sanctity. Such actions are not allowed. And Allah Knows Best.
