Zabiha (Islamic method of slaughter)

Zabiha is the Islamic method of slaughtering animals for meat, performed to ensure humane treatment and spiritual purity. It involves a swift, deep incision to the throat with a sharp blade, cutting vital arteries and veins while avoiding unnecessary suffering. The animal must be alive and healthy at the time of slaughter, and the person performing it must be trained and recite a blessing ("Bismillah" and "Allahu Akbar") to invoke divine consideration. This method emphasizes compassion, cleanliness, and adherence to religious guidelines, aiming for a respectful process that aligns with Islamic principles of stewardship and kindness towards animals.
