halal slaughter

Halal slaughter is a method of animal slaughter permissible in Islamic law, emphasizing humane treatment and specific rituals. The process involves swiftly cutting the animal's throat with a sharp knife, severing major blood vessels to ensure rapid bleeding, which is believed to promote cleanliness and quality of the meat. It is performed while invoking the name of God (Bismillah) and ensuring the animal is alive and healthy at the time of slaughter. The procedure minimizes pain and suffering, aligning with ethical and religious principles for the preparation of permissible (halal) meat.
