Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa
that his father said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, was asked, 'Messenger of
Allah! Some people from the desert bring us meat, and we
do not know whether the name of Allah has been mentioned
over it or not.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, 'Mention the name of Allah
over it and eat.' "
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that
Abdullah ibn Ayyash ibn Abi Rabia al-Makhzumi ordered one
of his slaves to slaughter an animal. When he wanted to
slaughter it, he said to him, "Mention Allah's name." The
slave said to him, "I have mentioned the name!" He said to
him, "Mention the name of Allah, bother you!" He said to
him, "I have mentioned the name of Allah " Abdullah ibn
Ayyash said, "By Allah, I shall never eat it!"
Section: Methods of Slaughter Permitted in Necessity
Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from
Ata ibn Yasar that a man from the Ansar of the tribe of
Banu Haritha was herding a pregnant she-camel at Uhud. It
was about to die, so he slaughtered it with a sharp stake.
The Messenger of Allah was asked about that, and he said,
"There is no harm in it, eat it."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from a man of
the Ansar from Muadh ibn Sad or Sad ibn Muadh that a
slave-girl of Kab ibn Malik was herding some sheep at Sal
(a mountain near Madina). One of the sheep was about to
die, so she went over to it and slaughtered it with a
stone. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, was asked about that, and he said, "There
is no harm in it, so eat it."
Yahya related to me from Malik that Abdullah ibn Abbas
used to say, "You can eat anything that has had its
jugular vein cut."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that
Said ibn al-Musayyab said, "There is no harm in whatever
you slaughter with a cutting edge, as long as you are
forced to do it by necessity."
Section: What is Disapproved of in Slaughtering Animals
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that
Abu Murra, the mawla of Aqil ibn Abi Talib asked Abu
Hurayra about a sheep which was slaughtered and then part
of it moved. He ordered him to eat it. Then he asked Zayd
ibn Thabit about it, and he said, "Does a corpse move?"
and he forbade eating its meat.
Malik was asked about a sheep which fell down and
injured itself badly and then its master reached it and
slaughtered it. Blood flowed from it but it did not move.
Malik said, "If he kills it and blood flows from it and
its eyes blink, he should eat it."
Section: Slaughtering What is in the Womb of a
Slaughtered Animal
Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi that Abdullah
ibn Umar said, "When a she-camel is slaughtered, what is
in its womb is included in the slaughter if it is
perfectly formed and its hair has begun to grow. If it
comes out of its mother's womb, it is slaughtered so that
blood flows from its heart."
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yazid ibn Abdullah
ibn Qusayt al-Laythi that Said ibn al- Musayyab said, "The
slaughter of what is in the womb is included in the
slaughter of the mother if it is perfectly formed and its
hair has begun to grow."
