Severing the animals head

Question

Assalamu’alaykum respected Mufti Sahib,

Wanted to ask what is the ruling of completely severing chicken’s neck while slaughtering. This is the common practice in our country, Kenya. 

Jazakallahu khairan 

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Giving the animal unnecessary pain in any way is prohibited.

Whilst slaughtering an animal, it is prohibitively disliked to intentionally severe the animal’s head. [1]

 

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

ومن بلغ بالسكين النخاع أو قطع الرأس كره له ذلك وتؤكل ذبيحته

 

الاختيار لتعليل المختار (5/ 12)

 وَيُكْرَهُ أَنْ يَبْلُغَ بِالسِّكِّينِ النُّخَاعَ، أَوْ يَقْطَعَ الرَّأْسَ وَتُؤْكَلُ

ذبح کرتے وقت جس مرغی کی گردن پوری کٹ جائے اُس کا کھانا حلال ہے؛ لیکن اس طرح بالقصد کاٹنا مکروہ ہے۔
