Opening an animal's belly after slaughtering it to take out its baby

Q: I had a sick, pregnant sheep that was about to give birth. I slaughtered it by cutting the vein and the jugular veins, then I cut its belly to get the baby, and I continued slaughtering it. Please advise whether it is lawful to eat.


A: This animal is lawful to eat; there is no harm in eating its meat. (Part No. 22; Page No. 480) May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
