Al-Muwatta' of Imam Malik - Slaughtering Animals - Hadith

Saying the Name of Allah over the Slaughtered Animal

1 Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn 'Urwa that his father said,
"The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him ph bless him and
grant him peace, was asked, 'Messenger of Allah! Some people from the desert
bring us meat, and we do not know whether the name of Allah has been mentioned
over it or not.' The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, 'Mention the name of Allah over it and eat.' "

Malik said, "That was at the beginning of Islam."

[In Bukhari]

2 Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Sa'id that 'Abdullah ibn 'Ayyash
ibn Abi Rabi'a al-Makhzumi told one of his slaves to slaughter an animal. When
he wanted to slaughter it, he said to him, "Mention Allah's name." The slave
said to him, "I have mentioned the name!" He said to him, "Mention the name of
Allah, bother you!" He said to him, "I have mentioned the name of Allah."
'Abdullah ibn 'Ayyash said, "By Allah, I shall never eat it!"

 

24.2 Methods of Slaughter Permitted in Necessity

3 Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from 'Ata' ibn Yasar
that a man of the Ansar from the tribe of Banu Haritha was herding a pregnant
she-camel at Uhud. It was about to die, so he slaughtered it with a sharp stake.
The Messenger of Allah was asked about that, and he said, "There is no harm in
it, eat it."

4 Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi' from a one of the Ansar from
Mu'adh ibn Sa'd or Sa'd ibn Mu'adh that a slave-girl of Ka'b ibn Malik was
herding some sheep at Sal' (a mountain near Madina). One of the sheep was about
to die, so she went over to it and slaughtered it with a stone. The Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was asked about that, and he
said, "There is no harm in it, so eat it."

[In Bukhari]

5 Yahya related to me from Malik from Thawr ibn Zayd ad-Dili that 'Abdullah
ibn 'Abbas was asked about animals slaughtered by the Christian Arabs. He said,
"There is no harm in them," but he recited this ayat, "Any of you who
takes them as friends is one of them
." (5:54)

6 Yahya related to me from Malik that 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas used to say, "You
can eat anything that has had its jugular vein cut."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Sa'id that Sa'id ibn al-Musayayb
said. "There is no harm in whatever you slaughter with a cutting edge, as long
as you are forced to do it by necessity."

 

24.3 What is Disapproved of in Slaughtering Animals

 

7 Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Sa'id that Abu Murra, the
mawla of 'Aqil ibn Abi Talib, asked Abu Hurayra about a sheep which was told and
then part of it moved. He ordered him to eat it. Then he asked Zayd ibn Thabit
about it, and he said, "Does a corpse move?" and he forbade eating its meat.

Malik was asked about a sheep which fell down and injured itself badly and
then its master reached it and slaughtered it. Blood flowed from it but it did
not move. Malik said, "If he kills it and blood flows from it and its eyes
blink, he may eat."

 

24.4 Slaughtering What is in the Womb of a Slaughtered Animal

8 Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi' that 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar said,
"When a she-camel is slaughtered, what is in its womb is included in the
slaughter if it is perfectly formed and its hair has begun to grow. If it comes
out of its mother's womb, it is slaughtered so that blood flows from its heart."

9 Yahya related to me from Malik from Yazid ibn 'Abdullah ibn Qusayt al-Laythi
that Sa'id ibn al-Musayyab said, "The slaughter of what is in the womb is
included in the slaughter of the mother if it is perfectly formed and its hair
has begun to grow."
