Good Deeds Unaccepted

14

The Beloved Prophet (s) once saw Sayyiduna Hasan (r) pick up a date and put it in his mouth.

A Bite Thrown Up

16

Imam Abu Haneefah (rh) avoided goat meat for many years because one goat was stolen in his neighborhood and the goat meat in the market could possibly come from that goat.

The Stolen Goat

17

Shaykh Abdul Qadir Jilani (rh)’s father Abu Salih

Jangidost (rh) once picked up an apple from a flowing river and ate it.

When he realized it could belong to someone else, he went and asked forgiveness from the possible owner.

The owner stipulated that he has to marry his blind, mute, handicapped daughter (to test his Taqwa).

In fear of the repercussions of eating this apple in the Akhirah, he agreed, only to find out the daughter was completely of the opposite condition.

A Doubtful Apple

18

Shaykh Ya’qub Nanotawi (rh) once attended

an invitation and began to eat.

After eating only a bite, he suddenly left the gathering.

A Pious Father

20

Shaykh Qasim Nanotawi (rh) used to wait an

Yearly Invitation

21

Mufti Muzaffar Hussain (rh) was known to naturally throw up any food that was not purely Halal.

Only Pure Halal

22

Halal: permissible, lawful

Haram: impermissible, unlawful, prohibited

Definitions

23

In the Shariah, the basic rules about Muslim’s diet are:

ONLY Tayyib is halal

Khabeeth is haram

Principles of Halal and Haram

24

”الصل في الشياء الباحة 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)


25

“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,

may Allah increase his life and knowledge


26

ا﴿ ض جميع رأ و ٱل ذى خلق لكم م ا فى ٱلأ ﴾ه

“It is He who created for you all that the earth contains” (Surah al-Baqarah:29)

Are there dietary laws in Islam?

27

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


28

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)


29

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

30

ALL THREE CONDITIONS MUST BE MET AT ONCE

If any one condition is NOT MET, the meat will NOT be considered ZABIHA HALAL


31

Condition #1:

The method of slaughtering


32

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

34

Condition #2: Tasmiyyah:

Mentioning the Name of Allah verbally at the time of each

slaughter


35

﴾عليه وإنه لفسق ول تأكلوا مما لم يذكر اسم اهلل ﴿ “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

36

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

37

“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

38

Condition #3:

The butcher must be a Muslim or Believing Ahlul Kitab


39

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

40

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?

41

1. Machine Slaughter and what is labeled as ‘Halal’ in the market

2. Does Kosher mean Halal?

3. Say Bismillah and JUST EAT IT!

42

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

43

THE MACHINE SLAUGHTERING

PROCESS

Further Problem

44

The Mechanical Slaughter process -.mp4




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8Gpr3nLEPo

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

45

“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)

Cont.

46

“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?

47

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?

48

“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

49

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

50

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

51

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?

52

“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

53

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?

54

IN SAHIH AL-BUKHARI:

:ونحوهم العراب باب ذبيحة عن عائشة ـ رضى اهلل عنها ـ أن قوما، قالوا للن بي صلى اهلل

عليه عليه وسلم إن قوما يأتونا بالل حم ل ندري أذكر اسم الل لوه " أم ل فقال وا عليه أنتم وك قالت وكانوا حديثي . " سم

. عهد بالكفر

( 5507: البخاريصحيح )

Say Bismillah and JUST EAT IT!

55

IN SAHIH AL-BUKHARI:

Chapter: The animals slaughtered by Bedouins or the like.

Narrated by Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her:

“A group of people said to the Prophet, "Some people bring us meat and we do not know whether

they have mentioned Allah's Name or not on slaughtering the animal." He said, "Mention Allah's Name on it and eat." Those people had embraced

Islam recently.”

(Sahih al-Bukhari:5507)


56

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


57

This ruling is only for meat slaughtered UNDOUBTEDLY by Muslims

Meat from other sources is not included in this ruling


58

MONITORING + CERTIFICATION

59

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

60

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

61

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


62

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


63

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


64

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


65

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


66

SBNY HALAL ZABIHA


67

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
