Is the animal slaughtered by a butcher who is a drug addict permissible if he slaughtered it while he was sober?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
The slaughter (dhakat) performed by a drug addict while he is conscious is valid, because the condition for the validity of slaughter is intellect and discernment at the time of performing it, and freedom from immorality is not among its conditions. Neighbors should advise the drug addict to stay away from drugs because they corrupt religion and worldly life, and are among the unlawful evil things.
