I wanted to know the halaal position of Nandos chickens, and I spoke to a colleague of mine who spoke to Maulana Yunus Patel who said that in order to

Answer

All those ulema who after having visited the Rainbow chicken-killing plant, claim that the carrion is 'halaal' and that there is not even a doubt in this diseased rot, can convey their opinions to the baboons in the Drakensberg mountain rage. We are positive that even the baboons will reject the notoriety which these ulema are blabbing in the name of the Deen. A molvi who says that there is not even a doubt in the horrifically murdered chickens, killed by the system of shaitaan should understand that he has conclusively joined the fraternity of ulema-e-soo'. Ask Mufti Afzal Elias Hoosen Sahib. He too was one of the 14 who had visited the Rainbow halaalized carrion plant. His verdict is that the carrion is emphatically HARAAM.

It is utterly scandalous and slanderous for ulema to make these haraam claims which they do on account of animosity for the Majlis and for retaining their haraam friendship with the SANHA clique of carrion halaalizers. They support each other is sin and transgression in stark violation of the Qur'aanic command. These notorious ulema who find nothing wrong with SANHA's wholehearted adoption and halaalizing of the brutal kuffaar killing system and with the complete displacement of the Waajib system of the Shariah, have hearts of stone. Nay! Their hearts are harder than stone. About these corrupt and desensitized hearts who do not believe that tomorrow when they perish they will have to face Allah Ta'ala to answer for their condonation and promotion of one of the worst kinds of torture and cruelty to Allah's creatures, the Qur'aan Majeed says:

"Then their hearts became hard after this. Their hearts are like stone or harder than stone, for verily, from stone most certainly rivers gush. And

Verily, some stones (rocks) split open and water gush out. And, verily, some from them (stones) roll (from high ground) out of fear for Allah. Allah is not oblivious of what you are perpetrating."

These ulema who halaalize brutality, cruelty and carrion should take stock of the condition of their corrupt hardened hearts. Their self-imposed function is nowadays restricted to supporting carrion halaalizers, modernists and a medley of enemies of the Deen in a variety of spheres. Never be deceived by their haraam 'halaal' announcements. There exists a deluge of evidence to conclusively prove that these SANHA and MJC halaalized chickens are absolutely haraam – rotten, diseased carrion which gives you cancer. If you wish to take a chance with cancer, then gobble the carrion like vultures. The gluttonous addiction to carrion chickens ruins Imaan and utterly destroys akhlaaq (moral character). If you are concerned with your physical and spiritual health, then abstain from the diseased haraam carrion which the purveyors of confounded 'halaal' certificates promote at the peril of extinguishing their Imaan.

It is not that these haraam pedlars are unaware of the status of their halaalized carrion chickens. They are fully aware. For years they and the molvis and sheikhs in cahoots with them for the sake of gaining a share of the haraam riba boodle have tried, but in vain, to conceal the mass and the mountain of evidence which has damned them into Hell where they shall hang upside down just like they are brutalizing and torturing billions of chickens to death. Their brains and their hearts are all upside down. Their Imaan is upside down. They view all things hanging upside down hence they believe that right is left and vice versa, and black is white, night is day, and haraam is halaal.

MAULANA YUNUS PATEL SAHIB

Furthermore, your colleague has misinformed you with regard to the alleged inspection by Maulana Yunus Patel Sahib. Maulana Yunus denies having gone to Rainbow for an inspection. The following is the text of his letter dated 24 October 2010: "I did not go to Rainbow with the 14 Ulama or Muftis. I have maintained my standard reply that the Mujlisul Ulama declares Rainbow Haraam. Sanha's Muftis and Ulama give 100% assurance that it is Halaal. The person should follow whomsoever he has confidence in."

In the question you explicitly state: "A colleague of mine spoke to ML Yunus Patel (from Mallinson) and said that in order to combat the doubt that it was causing, he (Patel) and 14 other Ulema went to the Rainbow farms in order to investigate, and to the best of his knowledge it is halaal. My colleague also mentioned that ML.Yunus Patel is also part of the Jamiatul Ulama. He said if you have any questions you can contact him on 088 11 44 726. Ask for Mufti Shafik Jakura."

Brother, these are your words, including the word, 'Patel', in brackets, and including the brackets. We make specific reference to your word in brackets, viz., 'Patel', lest we be accused of having divested and denuded the honourable Maulana Sahib of his august title.

Your colleague has falsely claimed that Maulana Yunus Patel Sahib said that Rainbow is Halaal. Now who has spoken a brazen lie? Your colleague or the honourable Maulana Yunus Patel Saheb with regard to the inspection. We believe that your colleague has attributed a blatant lie to Maulana Patel Sahib.

The other angle to this issue is that the honourable Maulana Patel Sahib's answer as stated in his own letter is incorrect. He states the view of the Mujlisul Ulama and the view of the Carrion Halaalizer (SANHA). Both views are diametric opposites. Then diverging from the command of Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) to abstain from Mushtabah (the Doubtful), the honourable Maulana Yunus Patel Sahib very surprisingly says: "The person should follow whomsoever he has confidence in." This advice is highly erroneous in view of its clash with the command of Nabi-e-Kareem (sallallahu alayhi wasallam).

Whenever the conflict is between Haraam and Halaal, Rasulullah (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) ordered ABSTENTION. A conflict between Halaal and Haraam clearly assigns the issue into the realm of Mushtabah although the evidence does not permit assigning SANHA's carrion into the Mushtabah zone. Nevertheless, an Aalim who is unaware of the facts and reality, but has in front of him two diametrically opposite views on the same issue, has no option but to advise people to abstain in view of the confirmed Mushtabah status in terms of his inability to discount either of the views. Thus, the only option open to the honourable Maulana Patel Sahib is to advise his followers to abstain from SANHA certified rotten, diseased carrion even if he does not accept the carrion chickens to be carrion.

The 'standard' reply offered by the honourable Maulana Yunus Patel Sahib does not offer Shar'i guidance to anyone. You should request the Maulana Sahib to state his view. Surely he must be advising his mureeds and close relatives. Ask him if he and his close mureeds consume SANHA carrion or not, or is he acting on Rasulullah's command of abstention from Mushtabah? If according to the honourable Maulana Sahib, SANHA's carrion chickens are not haraam and not halaal, then what are they? You can respectfully request the honourable Maulana Yunus Sahib to unravel this conundrum for you. The underlying tafseer of this mystery is not too intricate to unravel. But we shall desist from elaboration.

Supplicate to Allah Ta'ala to save you from the vile tentacles of the agents of shaitaan.
