Removing chicken feathers by putting them in hot water

Q 2: Is it Halal (lawful) or Haram (prohibited) to remove a chicken's feathers using hot water?


A: If this is done after slaughtering according to the Islamic Shari‘ah (law), there is nothing wrong with it. (Part No. 22; Page No. 473) However, if it is done before slaughtering, it is not permissible, as it would be torture for the animal.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
