Question
In U.K. we also have SANHA-type halaalizing organizations although they are much better. One such organization had assured me that the chickens are facing towards the Qiblah. But when I went to investigate, I saw the chickens hanging upside down. Are such slaughtered chickens halaal?
Answer
All halaalizing outfits are vermin of the same kind. The one is not better than the other. On the contrary, the one is worse than the other. All of them are scoundrels in terms of the Shariah. Abstain from consuming chickens which are killed in the haraam manner of hanging them upside down. The claim that these chickens are slaughtered facing the Qiblah is baseless. It is a naked lie. When the chicken is hanging upside down, it is facing the ground, not the Qiblah.
