Is stunning permissable and is it better to refrain.

There is a difference of opinion amongst the ulama. You are better off asking your local mufti of his opinion. Wallahu a'lam.

I'm mot in a position to pass any ruling, but from ally research in the last few days, I have come to learn that some poultry places use a low 4volts, which seems to be safe and some use 30volts which seems to be more dangerous.

I have also seen videos (posted on page 1) of halal abattoirs using 220volts on sheep in which the witness said that he saw the eyes roll back.

The Mufti's can pass any judgement they want, but it would have to be according to every abattoir on an individual basis and I think the ulama should be made aware of this.

I have emailed plenty of abattoirs and they have turned out to be more in it for the money more than anything else.

Allahu alum.

That is for the ulama to answer.

They say you have give them the benefit of the doubt.

Its like asking them if they worked in an interest based place and if their salary was halal. If the salary was Haram, the food is Haram. Here the ulama again say something.

Best to get an answer from an Alim.

Well see here, Masuds blog This is where I read it at 4.2 volts masudblog.com/?p=144

 

interesting. maybe the decimal point was put in the wrong place in either one of the reports. the other 52v figure i have is from a written report from a site visit from three Cardiff based ulama on Fri 24th April 2009

I'm not sure where I stand with regards to stunning. If its 4 volts, then I guess...

But after reading this, I'm not sure what to do.

REASONS WHY CHICKENS ARE STUNNED ARE AS FOLLOWS:

1. YOU CAN DO UP TO 15,000 OR MORE CHICKENS PER HOUR THUS REQUIRING LESS STAFF WHICH MEANS LESS OVERHEADS AND MORE PROFIT FOR THE CHEATING WHOLESALER AND RETAILER.

1. STUNNING RESULTS IN AN INCREASE IN THE WEIGHT OF THE BIRD OF ABOUT 10% OF ITS TOTAL WEIGHT. THE INCREASE DOES NOT BENEFIT THE CONSUMER BECAUSE IT IS CLOTTED BLOOD IN THE VEINS AND ARTERIES.

1. POULTRY SLAUGHTER HOUSES ARE VERY KEEN TO STUN AS MANY CHICKENS AS POSSIBLE IN THE LEAST POSSIBLE TIME AND SO COMMERCIAL INTERESTS HAVE OFTEN BEEN THE OVERRIDING FACTOR.

HOW TO RECOGNISE STUNNED CHICKEN:

1. WHEN THE CHICKENS ARE STUNNED THEY DO NOT FLAP THEIR WINGS, WHICH MEANS YOU WILL NOT FIND ANY BROKEN WINGS.

1. If YOU OPEN UP THE CHICKEN YOU WILL SEE SPECKS OF BLOOD ON THE INSIDE OF THE BREAST FILLET.

1. IF THE STUN IS SEVERE THE WISH BONE WILL BE BROKEN.

1. THE LEG MEAT IS DARK BECAUSE BLOOD IS STILL IN THE MEAT.

 if X amount of volts dont fry em (beyound any doubts nor cause any of the above) and if left after some seconds their still alive and erm clucking then thats fine with me...
