What is your view if in plants hundreds of thousands of chickens are daily slaughtered, year after year, with Qiblah injunction ignored when slaughter

Question

What is your view if in plants hundreds of thousands of chickens are daily slaughtered, year after year, with Qiblah injunction ignored when slaughtering the poultry?

Answer

In terms of Rasulullah’s (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) instruction, it is necessary to face the animals towards the Qiblah. The fact that it is a command of Allah Ta’ala should be sufficient to convince a Muslim of its imperative importance. Sahaabah would abstain from eating the meat of an animal which had been slaughtered while it was not facing the Qiblah.
