DO NOT ALLOW MECHANICAL SLAUGHTER
DO NOT ALLOW STUNNING
Mechanical slaughter is of three types:
THE USE OF ELECTRIC SHOCK ON ANIMALS
With regards to meat that is not slaughtered according to Islamic rites, it is not Halal because of the effect electric shock (stunning) on blood drainage.
In regular meat slaughterhouses, animals are brought into an alley and given an electric shock (stunned) before Dhabh (slaughtering) to the head to make them unconscious. The animal’s legs are then tied up and it is hung upside down. A knife is put to its neck, and then it is slaughtered. The animal is then temporarily left alone to allow the blood to drain from its body. From there, the meat is processed. But using electric shock (stunning), means that all of the animal’s blood does not leave its body, because electric shock (stunning) affects the central nervous system and as many of the animal are die from effect of stunning.
On the contrary, if an animal is slaughtered in accordance with Islamic guidelines, the central nervous system works properly, and the entire animal’s blood comes out.
Remaining blood in the animal is a source of fermentation and destruction of meat quality. This means bacteria can grow easily on the meat. From an Islamic perspective, it is Haram to eat meat-containing blood, and dead animal as it is clearly stated in the Qur’an that Muslims cannot consume blood.

UNITED KINGDOM

Description: The IIJ was founded in 1976 by Mufti Yusuf Sacha, then based in Darlaston, West Midlands. In 1979 on moving to Batley, West Yorkshire, the Institute of Islamic Jurisprudence (IIJ) started to assist Muslims in their problems and social affairs. Initially, Fatawa (Islamic verdicts/legal Edicts) and research into contemporary issues were dealt with. After some time it became apparent that food technology and the complex nature of E Numbers was another field which needed thorough research. In the early nineties correspondence was established with major manufacturers and information collated from them to form a formidable volume of information published In a local magazine An-Noor. Thereafter, with the arrival of Mufti Faheem Mayet from South Africa in 1993, the Institute began the task of publishing a food guide for Muslims. This resulted in the first Muslim Food Guide published in the UK in 1995, thereafter two subsequent editions were published in 1998 and 2000 respectively.

Description: The Muslim Food Board (U.K.) was established in 1992. It is an independent organisation serving Halaal consumers throughout U.K.
There are about one and a half Million Muslims in the UK and over a Billion world-wide. The commonality between all Muslims is that they must only consume Halaal food. Due to the fact that it is virtually impossible to establish whether a product is Halaal or not simply by reading the ingredients, Muslims in the UK found it very difficult to buy only Halaal food products.
The investigation and certification of food products can be a complex task and it was evident that a formal organisation to tackle such tasks was needed. The Muslim Food Board (UK) was established to formalise the investigation and certification of food products.
