Question:<\/u><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As-Sal\u0101mu Alaikum, i just wanted to know if any of the respected Ulam\u0101 are familiar with the watani slaughter in Saudi. Is it free from mechanical slaughter and stunning? In addition, is Al-Baiq now watani too as it wasn\u2019t a few years ago. I have just been asked by someone, however I haven\u2019t been for a few years now so im not aware.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We are reliably informed that chicken in the Holy lands is obtained and slaughtered locally as well as imported. The local chicken\u00a0 is Halal and can be identified by the al-Watania packaging. Imported chicken meat comes from a myriad of countries. It is very difficult to ascertain whether chickens imported into Saudi Arabia are slaughtered according to Shariah, thus such meat would be termed Mashkook (doubtful) – caution demands abstinence. One should also remember that, originally all things are permissible unless proven to be unlawful (al-Asl fi al-Ashya al-Ibaha), however, the case with meat is different, in that it is unlawful until proven to be Halal. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The proof for this is the narration of Adi ibn Hatim (Allah be pleased with him) where he said to the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace): \u201cO Messenger of Allah! At times, I let go of my hunting dog but I find with it another dog and I am unaware which of the two hunted the animal? The Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: \u201cDon\u2019t eat (from the hunted animal), for you have pronounced the name of Allah on your dog and not on the other.\u201d (Sahih al-Bukhari: 5486)<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This Hadith clearly indicates that when there is doubt in the animal being Halal, it will be unlawful to consume it, which signifies that meat is originally unlawful (hurmah) until proven to be Halal. Had it been originally Halal, the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) would not have ordered Adi (Allah be pleased with him) to abstain from consuming it. This also serves as an answer to those who state that the organisation certifying products as \u201cHalal\u201d is responsible, and thus any sins for eating the chickens will go to the certifying organisation. The fact is that, it is the responsibility of every individual that he\/she investigates the authenticity of such statements and then consumes the meat. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Moreover, it is mentioned from Muhammad Sameeullah The Meat: Lawful and Unlawful in Islam – Siddiqi Trust: It may be pertinent to mention here that at present, Argentina and Brazil, etc. are exporting a lot of frozen meat to Arab countries, including Saudi Arabia. This meat is not lawful for the Muslims as the animals are not slaughtered according to the way prescribed by the Shariah. The exporting firms very deceitfully put the Halal mark on their products while in reality they are not Halal. It is very important that the Islamic organisations should probe into the matter urgently to ensure that the Muslim masses in Arab countries are not fed on this type of meat. Allah (swt) throughout the Quran and the Messenger of Allah (saw) throughout the Hadith emphasise the importance of eating Halal and the prohibition and harms of eating haram. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The above mentioned details also apply to Al-Baiq as well. One must ensure that the meat being provided is halal meat and not imported from non Muslim countries who did not slaughter the meat according to the rules of Shariah. There are reports that they had received such meat. Thus, one must do their due diligence before consuming such meat In conclusion, many of us go to the holy land to perform our umrah and hajj and to gain reward and get spiritually cleansed, yet it will be all meaningless if we don\u2019t ensure what we are eating is halal. Therefore, we must ensure that the Hajj or Umrah group we select procure meat which is not imported. Also, we must not eat at restaurants and takeaways before asking someone who is in the know where one can buy Halal with certitude.<\/span><\/p>\n
