What is the status of the meat if the slaughterer is a faasiq-faajir?

Question

What is the status of the meat if the slaughterer is a faasiq-faajir? He slaughters correctly.

Answer

While the meat will be halaal, it will not be tayyib on account of the fisq and fujoor of the thaabih (slaughterer). Understand well that the immorality of the thaabih exercises a spiritually detrimental effect on the meat, hence it will retard the spiritual development of the consumer and also create darkness in his spirituality (roohaaniyat). Everything has an athar (effect), both physically and spiritually.
