The Messenger (Allah bless him and give him peace) mentioned (the case of) a man who, having journeyed far, is dishevelled and dusty and who spreads out his hands to the heavens (saying): “O Lord! O Lord!” — while his food is unlawful, his drink unlawful, his clothing unlawful, and he is nourished unlawfully, so how can he be answered!”

The Prophet (peace be upon him):
“I swear by Him in whose hands the soul of Muhammad lies, verily a servant (of Allah) puts a haram (impermissible) food morsel in his stomach (due to which) no good deed is accepted from him for 40 days” (Tabrani, 6395)
Good Deeds Unaccepted

Halal: permissible, lawful
Haram: impermissible, unlawful, prohibited
Definitions
14
In the Shariah, the basic rules about Muslim’s diet are:
ONLY Tayyib is halal
Khabeeth is haram
Principles of Halal and Haram
15
”الصل في الشياء اإلباحة وفي اللحوم الحرمة “ The principle in all things is permissibility (allowed)
(unless proven otherwise)
&
The principle in meat is impermissibility (haram) (unless proven otherwise)
(Upon the consensus of the major ulama of all four mazhahib of Fiqh)
Principles of Halal and Haram
16
“It is not necessary to consume all that which is halal
HOWEVER
It is absolutely necessary to avoid all that which is haram”
- Shaikhul Islam Hazrat Mufti Saeed Ahmad Palanpuri,

Principles of Halal and Haram
17
ا﴿ و ٱل ذى خلق لكم م ا فى ٱلرض جميع ﴾ه
“It is He who created for you all that the earth contains” (Surah al-Baqarah:29)
Are there dietary laws in Islam?
18
There two types of issues in Islam:
Umoor Ta’abbudiyyah: those issues related to ibadah (worship)
Umoor ‘Adiyah: those issues related to everyday life, unrelated to ibadah (worship)
THE DIETARY LAWS OF ISLAM ARE AMONG THE Umoor Ta’abbudiyyah
Are there dietary laws in Islam?

من صلى صالتنا واستقبل قبلتنا وأكل ذبيحتنا فذلك »«المسلم الذي له ذمة اهلل وذمة رسوله
“The one who prays our salat, faces our Qiblah, and eats our zabiha, he
is the Muslim who is under the protection of Allah and His
Messenger (s)”
(Bukhari, 391)
Are there dietary laws in Islam?
20
Condition #1: THREE out of the FOUR main
veins of the animal’s throat MUST be cut
Condition #2: Tasmiyyah: Mentioning the Name of Allah verbally at the time of each slaughter
Condition #3: The butcher must be a Muslim or Believing Ahlul Kitab
The Conditions of Zabiha
21
ALL THREE CONDITIONS MUST BE MET AT ONCE
If any one condition is NOT MET, the meat will NOT be considered ZABIHA HALAL
The Conditions of Zabiha
22
Condition #1:
The method of slaughtering
The Conditions of Zabiha
23
24
THREE out of the FOUR main veins of animal’s
throat MUST be cut:
1. Trachea (windpipe)
2. Esophagus (foodpipe)
3. Juglar Vein #1
4. Juglar Vein #2
The Conditions of Zabiha #1
25
Condition #2: Tasmiyyah:
Mentioning the Name of Allah verbally at the time of each
slaughter
The Conditions of Zabiha
26
﴾وال تأكلوا مما لم يذكر اسم اهلل عليه فإنه فسق ﴿ “Eat not (of meats) on which Allah's name has not been pronounced, and surely it is a sin...” (al-An’aam:121)
The Conditions of Zabiha #2:
Mentioning the Name of Allah
27
Mentioning the Name of Allah ( Bismillah )
verbally is required at the time of each slaughter
If the butcher intentionally leaves out Bismillah, the meat is HARAM
Any animal upon which Bismillah is not mentioned at the time of slaughter intenionally, is considered maitah (carrion)
If the butcher unintentionally forgets Bismillah, there is no problem with meat
The Conditions of Zabiha #2: Mentioning the Name of Allah
28
“Prohibited for you are: Maitah (carrion), blood, the
flesh of swine, and those upon which (a name) other than that of Allah has been invoked (at the time of slaughter)…” (al-Maa’idah:3)
Allah mentions the meat of swine third, after Maitah (carrion) and blood, indicating that avoiding the first two is even more serious than pork
The meat upon which the name of Allah was not pronounced at slaughter time (Maitah) is worse than pork
The Deception that We Have Befallen
29
Condition #3:
The butcher must be a Muslim or Believing Ahlul Kitab
The Conditions of Zabiha
30
If one does not know who slaughtered the animal, further researched MUST be done before eating
Imported meat will be judged by the place from which it came
The Conditions of Zabiha #3:
The Butcher must be Muslim or Believing Ahlul Kitab
31
Those animals declared as “Halāl”, if they have been
slaughtered according to “Zabīha” rules, only then consuming their meat is “Halāl”.
If they have not been slaughtered as per Shar’i rules, then that meat cannot be called “Halāl”, it would be considered as “Maitah (Carrion)” which is “Haram”.
Note: This clearly proves that there are no difference of “Halāl” and “Zabīha” meat in Islam.
Is there a difference between Halal and Zabiha?
32
1. Machine Slaughter and what is labeled as ‘Halal’ in the market
2. Does Kosher mean Halal? 3. THREE out of the FOUR main
veins MUST be cut
33
Machine-slaughtered meat is labeled ‘HALAL’ in great abundance
The ulama state that machine-slaughtered meat is NOT HALAL
If more than one animal is slaughtered at one time, Bismillah must be pronounced separately on each animal (adapted from Fatwa Rahimiyyah, vol. 10, pg. 80)
Machine Slaughter
34
THE MACHINE SLAUGHTERING
PROCESS
Further Problem
35
Mufti Taqi Usmani: “The only solution to this
problem is that instead of one person, three Muslims be employed to cut the throats of chicken manually. They can slaughter the hanging chicken, alternatively. The speed of the machine need not be slowed down, nor does the production need to be reduced. Each one of these three persons will cut the throats of chickens by pronouncing the name of Allah".
A Solution
36
“In the way I have suggested, all the process of the
mechanical production will remain as it is. The only act to be done manually is the act of cutting the throat without slowing down the machine. You can see that the separation of liver and some other parts of chicken is still being done manually, while it does not in any way, slow down the process. The same method is suggested for cutting the throat also.” (Contemporary Fatawa, p.288-289)

37
“The food (slaughtered meat) of Ahlul Kitab (People of the Book) is lawful for you, and your food is lawful for them.” (al-Maa’idah:5)
The food of the Christians and Jews, even with their distorted beliefs, is considered Halal for Muslims
Does Kosher mean Halal?
38
The same conditions that are stipulated in an Islamic Slaughter, according to the Quran and Sunnah, are also the conditions for the people of the Book.
Are There Any Conditions?
39
“Eat not (of meats) on which Allah's name has not been pronounced, and surely it is a sin...” (al-An’aam:121)
Proof from Quran
40
Ibn Kathir: These are lawful for Muslims because they consider slaughtering animals for anyone other than Allah as unlawful and do not invoke any name other than that of Allah on animals they slaughter - even if they believe in things about Almighty Allah from which the great Creator is free and far above (Ibn Kathir, p. 19, v. 3).
Proof From Our Scholars
41
Mufti Rasheed in ‘Ahsan al-Fatawa’ writes about how he sent letters to the major Christian seminaries, including the Vatican, asking about if they have any dietary laws pertaining to animal slaughter.
They responded in the negative, saying that they do not have any rules for sacrificing an animal.
Today: Christians
42
This is from common knowledge that a good majority of Christians are atheists in belief. In other words, they are far from sanctifying their food by using the Oneness of God.
And their Iman?
43
“Before performing ritual slaughter, it is necessary to
recite the blessing, “Blessed are You, O Lord our God, King of the universe, who has sanctified us with His commandments and has commanded us concerning ritual slaughter.” However, if the blessing is not recited, it is still permitted to eat the meat.”
“this blessing covers all the animals slaughtered in that period.”
MT Book 5, The Book of Holiness, Sefer Kedushah; Treatise 3, Laws Concerning Shehitah (Shechitah, Ritual Slaughter); Chapter 1, sec 2 (pages 506M 259Y) - See more at: http://www.religiousrules.com/Judaismfood17slaughter.htm#_ftn5
The Kosher Slaughter
44
KOSHER does NOT necessarily mean ZABIHA.
KOSHER has its own respective standards but does NOT necessarily conform with ZABIHA requirements
KOSHER is a general term for that which is allowed in the Jewish faith. So, there are Kosher foods, wines, businesses, etc.
In order for a Muslim to consume meat, it MUST meet ZABIHA requirements
So Does Kosher mean Zabiha?
45
1. Trachea
2. Esophagus
3. Juglar Vein #1
4. Juglar Vein #2
This is an essential point to remember when visiting the live poultry.
THREE out of the FOUR main veins
MUST be cut
46
47
MONITORING + CERTIFICATION
48
The percentage of meat labeled as ‘HALAL’ is much less than the HARAM meat in the market
Regarding the meat which is labeled as ‘HALAL’:
It based on trust
Unfortunately, deception is a normal business practice
The Problem
49
Awareness of the issues and challenges with the halal market is necessary
There is a great need to have an alternative available to the unmonitored, uninspected, controversial ‘halal meat’ labels prevalent in the market
A Solution
50
Alhamdulillah, Shariah Board, New York provides
the Muslim community with substantial information concerning slaughtered meat which is available for consumption
SBNY is authorized by the NYS Department of Agriculture & Markets to certify businesses as serving Halal
SBNY HALAL ZABIHA
MONITORING + CERTIFICATION
51
SBNY Zabiha Monitoring & Certification is a process
of evaluation and confirmation through investigation and inspection, that a Halal animal or bird has met the Shar’ee requirements of slaughter of Zabiha.
The certification is a statement that the Zabiha process is being independently monitored by the staff or a representative of SBNY Zabiha Monitoring Committee.
The Certificate of Zabiha Halal confirms that the cattle and/or poultry meet the strictest standards of hand-slaughtered Zabiha
SBNY HALAL ZABIHA
MONITORING + CERTIFICATION
52
SBNY certifies and monitors the entire chain, from the slaughterhouse to the processing plant, to the distributor to retailer/restaurant
If there is any link in the chain which not certified by SBNY, the levels after it cannot be certified
SBNY HALAL ZABIHA
MONITORING + CERTIFICATION
53
SBNY certifies ONLY hand slaughtered zabiha halal
meat and does NOT certify any machine slaughtering
Certificates are granted for 1-year, in the term of which frequent random inspections are conducted
The slaughtering process, processing of meat, production records, packing, retail merchandise, verbal testimonials, and related invoices are audited on random inspections
SBNY HALAL ZABIHA
MONITORING + CERTIFICATION
54
Certification is free of cost, there are absolutely no
charges whatsoever, solely for the benefit of the ummah, thus there are no conflict of interests
Monitoring and Certification begins only by the request and consent of the business; SBNY does not go to certify any business without a prior application from that business requesting our services
SBNY HALAL ZABIHA
MONITORING + CERTIFICATION
55
Be aware and demand Halal- “The consumer is the master of the market”
People are in control of what they eat
If people insist on eating Zabiha Halal, then a proper Halal market can be established inshaAllah, and all fraud will be removed
What can we do?
56
We are Muslim
We are in need of Halal food
We need to be Active to establish this
Umar (RA) used to be active in checking the markets to ensure nothing Haram was being sold
Allah purify our food, our hearts, and all of the Muslims from today till Qiyamah, Ameen
This is our Deen
