Q 2: Is it correct that directing the slaughtered animal towards the Qiblah (Ka`bah-direction faced in Prayer) and slaughtering it below the larynx are two conditions for the validity of the slaughtered animal; meaning that if they are missing it becomes impermissible to eat it?


A: Directing the slaughtered animal towards the Qiblah at the time of slaughtering is not one of the conditions of its validity; rather, it is a Sunnah (supererogatory act of worship following the example of the Prophet). The Sunnah also is to slaughter sheep and cows at the larynx, and to slaughter camels at the beginning of the chest, but the pharynx and the esophagus must be cut so that the slaughtered animal becomes lawful. Yet, if the jugular vein is cut, this would be better and more perfect.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
