Question

Why are Rainbow Chickens haraam? So much has been said and written on this issue that the facts have become blurred. Please briefly mention the reasons.

Answer

Tasmiyah (Bismillah) is discarded, neglected or abandoned on a massive scale. Millions of chickens are killed without Allah's Name being invoked at the time of slaughtering them.

2) A large percentage of the chickens are dead. These dead chickens are also slaughtered. 3) Innumerable chickens are improperly slaughtered. All the requisite neck vessels are not severed.

4) All the chickens are immersed in scalding water before their entrails have been removed.

5) There is absolutely NO Muslim supervision whatsoever from the time the killed chickens leave the slaughtermen. The entire process – cutting, packaging, storing and transporting – is in the control and supervision of only non-Muslims.

6) Broiler chickens are diseased. These carrion chickens cause diseases such as lung cancer, liver cancer, skin cancer as well as other diseases. 7) The entire killing system – every step in the system from the time the chickens are shackled upside down, is haraam. It is haraam to halaalize a haraam system.

The evidence to substantiate these claims is irrefutable and overwhelming.
