Is it permissible to eat the meat of goats and sheep slaughtered by severing the neck in infidel countries?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
It is disliked to sever the head of the sacrificed animal or cut its spinal cord before its death. However, this does not affect the validity of the sacrifice (dhakaat), and the slaughtered animal is permissible to eat if the conditions of dhakaat are met.
