Zabiha (Halal slaughter)

Zabiha, or Halal slaughter, is a method in Islamic tradition for ethically and hygienically slaughtering permissible animals for food. It involves a swift, humane cut to the throat with a sharp knife to minimize pain, while reciting a prayer to acknowledge and thank God for the animal. The process ensures blood is drained entirely, as blood is considered impure in Islam. The method emphasizes compassion for the animal, cleanliness, and respect for life, aligning with religious guidelines intended to promote humane treatment and ethical consumption.
