What is the ruling on transporting meat slaughtered without the name of Allah upon it, for a fee? And is the fee for transporting it—if mixed with permissible goods—lawful?
Meat slaughtered in an Islamically unlawful manner is considered dead and forbidden. The transportation of goods forbidden by Islamic law is impermissible according to the majority of scholars, due to its involvement in assisting a sin, contrary to the Hanafis. Scholars have differed regarding the wage for transporting forbidden items: the majority consider the contract valid and the wage permissible, while others deem it forbidden and the contract void. If a single contract combines the transport of permissible and forbidden items, there is no issue according to the view that permits the wage for transporting forbidden items. However, according to the view that prohibits the wage, the contract is valid for the transport of permissible items and its wage is lawful, but it is void for the transport of forbidden items and its wage is unlawful.
