Q: One day I intended to invite some of my friends for dinner (Part No. 22; Page No. 475) and thus I hired a cook to prepare food for my guests. Nevertheless, I was taken by surprise when I saw the cook slaughtering the animal with his left hand while mentioning the Name of Allah (Glorified and Exalted be He) on it by just saying: "Bismillah 'In the Name of Allah'" while I know that it is obligatory to say "Bismillah Wallahu Akbar 'In the Name of Allah, Allah is the Greatest'." I thus shouted at him: "You are slaughtering wrongly." He said:"The shaykhs permitted me to
slaughter with my left hand."
A:
Slaughtering animals by one's left hand is permissible though it is better to use the right one.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
