Question :

Is it permissible to slaughter sacrificial animals in public squares and streets?



The Answer :

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our Master, the Messenger of Allah.

 

The slaughtering of sacrificial animals (udhiyah) should take place in locations designated for slaughter, such as abattoirs (slaughterhouses), or in sites allocated by the relevant authorities for this purpose.

 

It is not permissible to perform slaughtering in a random or haphazard manner—such as in public squares, on roadsides, or in front of houses—in a way that creates health hazards, causes public nuisance, or endangers public safety. And Allah Almighty knows best.
