I want to make sure I do Zabiha properly.
what I understand is that there are multiply conditions.
1. Must be Muslim
2: Face Qibla
3: Say Bismmilah
4: Cut the four awdaj: two jugular, throat, windpipe
5: Blade must be made out of iron
6: Blood must flow
7: Animal has to move after process
Scenario: my Sunni family, goes to a halal farm. The owner does the Zabiha process. As you know sunni fiqh has there own condition, they could see facing Qibla as sunnah or not wajb and for Iron blade I’m not sure if that is condition they apply.
Questions:
1: When cutting the four awdaj where should one cut from. My understanding is from bottom of neck, where neck and head are separated from shoulder.
2: Is there any specific condition or can one cut from anywhere, as long as awdaj are cut.
2: As for the metal of blade being Iron. If I don’t know what the type of the metal being used. Should I just assume its Iron. For example the blade could be steel. Yet should I just assume since the facility owner is sunni. He would use the correct blade.
3: One of the conditions is facing qibla. when the owner brings in the animal. For example if he says that its difficult to move the animal. Then do I just proceed with the process.
Summary: I don’t have to do the process. The owner can do process and I can just assume its halal. However, I believe its something important to do as a Muslim. The only conditions I’m mostly worried about is the blade and if owner says its difficult to move animal to Qibla.
