Resolutions of Iftaa' Board

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

Does nosebleed during the day in Ramadan affect the validity of fasting?

A nosebleed does not affect the validity of fasting unless some of the blood reaches the body cavity or the person intentionally swallows it. In such a case, their fast is invalid, and they must refrain from eating and drinking for the rest of the day and make up for that day later.

How should I deal with the whispers of the devil with regard to ablution and purity?

Whispers in ablution are from the devil, and so you should take refuge in Allah from the devil`s evil suggestions that aim to distort the religion. Thus, once an organ is completely pure, don`t question its purity since having whispers doesn`t mean that the purity is invalid as it has already been established.

What is the wisdom behind the legislation of fasting?

Fasting is a divine school from which the believer learns much and trains in virtues that may be needed in life. Among these virtues is patience, as it is the month of patience. Fasting also teaches honesty and consciousness of Allah in both private and public, for there is no observer over the fasting person in abstaining from lawful pleasures except Allah alone.
Fasting strengthens willpower, sharpens determination, and nurtures mercy and compassion among the servants of Allah. It is a struggle against the self, a restraint of desires, a purification of the soul, and a cultivation of goodness.
The Prophetﷺ said: "Allah, the Almighty, said: ‘Every deed of the son of Adam is for him, except for fasting; it is for Me, and I shall reward for it. Fasting is a shield. So when one of you is fasting on a day, let him not engage in obscene speech or raise his voice in anger. If someone insults him or fights him, let him say: I am a fasting person. By Him in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, the breath of the fasting person is more pleasant to Allah than the fragrance of musk.’" [Bukhari and Muslim]
 

Does touching women temporarily forbidden in marriage nullify ablution?

It is prohibited to touch, or to shake hands with such women as they are considered strangers, and doing so nullifies ablution.
