Abattoir which is being used for both Halaal and Kosher Meat

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: What is the Islamic view point in an abattoir where the railings, hooks, staff, utensils and equipment are being used for both halaal and kosher slaughtered meat.

Bismillaah

A: The meat will be halaal. As a precautionary measure the meat should be washed before preparing.

وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللَّـهِ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنَّهُ لَفِسْقٌ وَإِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ لَيُوحُونَ إِلَىٰ أَوْلِيَائِهِمْ لِيُجَادِلُوكُمْ وَإِنْ أَطَعْتُمُوهُمْ إِنَّكُمْ لَمُشْرِكُونَ ﴿الأنعام: ١٢١﴾

من شك في إنائه أو ثوبه أو بدنه أصابته نجاسة أو لا فهو طاهر ما لم يستيقن وكذا الآبار والحياض والحباب الموضوعة في الطرقات ويستقي منها الصغار والكبار والمسلمون والكفار وكذا ما يتخذه أهل الشرك أو الجهلة من المسلمين كالسمن والخبز والأطعمة والثياب (رد المحتار 1/151)
