Using the same knife to cut lawful and unlawful meat


475

Q 9: Is it permissible to use the same knife for cutting Halal (lawful) and Haram (prohibited) meat?


A: It is permissible to use a knife for cutting Halal foods, meat or the like, after using it for impure foods, such as the meat of Maytah (unslaughtered dead animals) or any other food that is not permissible to consume. This is so provided that the knife is washed before using it. (Part No. 22; Page No. 387) However, it should be known that it is not permissible to use a knife for a prohibited food, like Haram meat and the like, from the very beginning.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
