19 The Correct Method of Slaughtering Animals in Islam. 20 1. The slaughter needs to be carried out by a Muslim or Ahlul Kitab. 21 2. Start by reciting Allah’s (SWT) name. 22 3. Slaughter the animal with a sharp knife (sharp cutting tool) 23 4. Directly pierce the throat, windpipe and blood vessels of the animal. Halal simply means “lawful” or “permitted” in Arabic and, as it pertains to food, refers to what Muslims can eat, what ingredients are allowed in meals, and how animals must be slaughtered to guarantee lawful consumption. In short, everyone can eat Halal food. Because of the care involved in the raising and killing of animals to be used Answer: Assalamu alaykum, In the name of Allah the Inspirer of truth. 1. It would not be permissible to have the cat killed even though it is in agony. It is a living soul and its death should not be effected by its owner. It should be allowed to die its natural death. However, if the animal is close to dying and there is no chance of recovery Thank you for your important question. There are no rituals that apply to the dead body of an animal. Burying it, cremating it, or disposing of it in any other way is permissible. Personally, I would avoid cremating it because of the possibility of it still feeling things. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘Breaking a corpse While contrary to dogs and devils, angels are a sign of purity, cleanliness, happiness, blessing and tranquility. For more benefit on legitimate reasons for keeping a dog, please refer to Fataawa 324532, 419983, 92109, 81421, 91174 and 85829. For more benefit on the ruling of the impurity of dogs, please read to Fatwa 82644. At the time, Prophet Mohammed ( SAW) demanded that dogs be killed. Then, the orders were repealed, following which the Prophet allowed dogs to be used to serve practical (work) reasons. The keeping of dogs as pets is prohibited in the eyes of Muslims However, Islam orders us to show compassion and kindness to them. 2. Dogs may also be used for hunting, but they should be trained for it. The only thing that it is considered haraam in Islam is to grew up the dog inside the house because of its saliva. The saliva of dogs often contains microscopic worms, science has shown. Dogs are not to be kept inside the house at all times. Dogs are najis yet there are conditions that make them halal to keep as pet. The reason dogs are haram to keep as pets as far as I know, isn’t because of impurity. Rather it is because of the Hadith stating whoever has a pet dog loses deeds worth qirats everyday. I’m pretty sure imam malik believes that pet dogs are haram, even though imam Secondly: We do not say concerning an animal, when it dies, that part of honoring it is burying it, as we say about human beings. But if burying it will ward off harm from the Muslims, then it is prescribed to do so, because burying it in that case comes under the heading of removing something harmful from the road used by the Muslims. Most people will use the Hadith to claim that you cant keep a dog as a pet. BUT, the Hadith collections also include narration in which. Prophet Muhammad's own grandsons owned a puppy. Note, his grandsons were at maximum about 7 years old when he passed, so the dog obviously was not for hunting or guarding. He was a pet. QGRxG.
