Slaughtering sheep

Q 2: While slaughtering sheep, do we have to cut off the throat and the head at one time or just cut the throat and leave the head until the animal dies? In most cases, we cut off the throat together with the head at the same time. Enlighten us, may Allah reward you!


A: The throat, the gullet and the two jugular veins have to be cut at one time. Complete separation of the head from the body can be done after it is sure that the animal has become motionless.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
