Question
Some people although they acknowledge that the kuffaar system of killing chickens is haram, nevertheless, they say the end product (i.e. the slaughtered chicken) is halaal because Tasmiyah is recited and all four neck veins are cut. Others believe that the modern system which prevails at Rainbow and the other plants is a better system. What is the Shariah's views regarding these people?
Answer
Those who believe the kuffaar system to be wrong remain Muslim even if they believe the chickens to be halaal. But those who give preference in their hearts to the kuffaar system, i.e. they believe that the kuffaar system is superior to the Shar'i system -- they lose their Imaan. Furthermore, the citation that Tasmiyah is recited on all the chickens and that all four neck vessels are severed is a LIE. It baseless. Even the end products are haram carrion.
