Animals slaughtered while lying on their right side

388

Q 2: Is it permissible for a left-handed person to rest his sacrifice on its right side to slaughter it easily with his left hand? If three persons gather to slaughter a sacrifice where two of them hold the sacrifice's feet and the third slaughters it placing his foot on its side, is this way of slaughtering permissible?

A: This issue is very flexible; a person may rest the animal on whichever side to make it easy for him to slaughter and for the sacrifice to avoid being tortured. Thus, he may seek the help of whoever he wants in order to slaughter the sacrifice easily! (Part No. 22; Page No. 476) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
