Slaughtering an animal that dies due to an injury


298

Q 2: I have heard some Hadiths that prohibit slaughtering an animal that is dying from a harmful disease. Is this true? A: There is nothing wrong with slaughtering an edible animal that is suffering from a disease and eating its meat as long as it is slaughtered according to Shari`ah (Islamic law). Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) says: Forbidden to you (for food) are: Al-Maitah (the dead animals - cattle - beast not slaughtered), blood to His Saying: ...and that which has been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by the goring of horns, and that which has been (partly) eaten by a wild animal Consequently, there is nothing wrong with eating its meat after slaughtering (Part No. 22; Page No. 385

May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
