I wrote a letter to SANHA querying the chickens which are sold as halaal.

Answer

When you again write to these entities who halaalize carrion, don't ask them about the end product, i.e. the dead diseased chicken. SANHA will give you a skullduggery response about Tasmiyah and the cut vessels to bamboozle you – to pull wool over your eyes – to confuse you in the endeavour to induce you to devour the rotten, diseased, haraam carrion. Ask them for the Shar'i ruling regarding the process or system of killing. Put to them the following questions:

1) Is it permissible to inflict any kind of injury to an animal before slaughtering it?

2) Is it the Islamic system to slaughter animals and chickens whilst they hang upside down?

3)

Is it part of the Islamic system of

Thabah to slaughter animals in motion?

4) Is it part of Islamic Thabah to shoot a metal bolt into the skull of an animal, shattering its skull and damaging its brain prior to slaughter?

5) Is it Islamic to electrically shock sheep and chickens before slaughtering them?

6) Is it Islamic to abandon the Qiblah requirement on a permanent basis?

7) Is the entire system of slaughtering chickens, cattle and sheep in the commercial plants an Islamic system of Thabah?

8) Please explain the Sunnah system of Thabah.

9) Is it Islamic to confine the chickens to an A-4 cage for the rest of their short lives?

10) Is it Islamic to debeak billions of chickens?

11) Is it Islamic to crush alive in machines thousands of unwanted day old chicks?

Crucify the carrion-halaalizer with these questions. If SANHA come up with the end product, claiming that Tasmiyah is recited and the four vessels are cut, say that your questions do not pertain to the answer being given. You are not asking about Tasmiyah and neck vessels. Your enquiry relates to the actual system. The system and the end product are two different issues.

You may cite the following analogy. A man wants to marry a woman. But she stipulates that before Nikah, they should commit zina. No zina no Nikah is her stance. Now does this zina become permissible because the end product of Nikah is halaal? Is it permissible for a man to accept this condition and fornicate to gain the halaal end product of Nikah?

It is simple logic. In this case if the Muslim rejects the zina stipulation, he will not avail himself of the end product of the halaal Nikah with this woman because the woman says emphatically: 'No zina, no Nikah.' Similarly, when the entire system of killing is haraam and which has to be rejected, then talk of the 'halaal' end product is superfluous, drivel and a massive deception. Rainbow states emphatically: 'No haraam killing system – no halaal chickens'. It is never permissible to commit haraam to obtain a 'halaal' end product.

Furthermore, with regards to the carrion chickens, not even the end products are halaal because there is a deluge of evidence to prove that Tasmiyah is not recited on the vast majority of chickens, and even dead chickens are cut, and the requisite neck vessels are not correctly severed in millions of chickens. Besides this, the whole evil commercial chicken-killing enterprise is a massive deception of iniquity in terms of the Shariah.
