Is fast food 'halal'?
If halal is define exactly as what was stated in http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;...
Then how do slaughter house slaughter tens of thousands of chickens at one time? Do they actually cut the chicken partially and let them bleed to death slowly one at a time? What's your opinion?
Answers:
Animals that eat meat (aka Pork) are not Halal.
Animals that are given hormones are not considered Halal.
Animals must have their throat slit manually, aimed towards mecca and given an Islamic prayer.
A point to note is all KFC chickens labeled "certified Halal" in Muslim countries are slaughtered by Muslims by reciting Bismillah-Allah-hu-Akbar during the process. Birds are slaughtered manually and not mechanically.
Chickens are transported to the place of slaughter through a conveyer belt and are manually slaughtered. If there is certainty that the chicken is alive and the Muslim slaughterer recites the name of Allah upon slaughtering, then the chicken is Halal. In this case, only the transportation is mechanical but the slaughtering is manual. This procedure is unanimously permissible and recommended.
Chickens are transported by means of the conveyer belt to the mechanical slaughter blade. Once the mechanical plant comes into operation, the blade also comes into operation and cuts the chicken. This procedure is not permissible. It does not matter if the plant and the blades are controlled together or separately.
