Halal meat in Qur’an and Hadith

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

1. Does Surah 5, Al Maidah verse 5 over ride the Al-Anam, Surah 6, verse 118-121 just because Al Maidah was revealed after Al-Anam? This is the argument used by the people who say eating USDA meat is OK. 2. The example of Aishah (raw) accepting meat from Christians and getting permission to eat it from the Prophet (pbuh) is used. 3. What is the difference between “Halal” and “Zabihah” meat?

Answer

In principle, Ta’aarudhaat (apparent inconsistencies) are dealth within the
following sequence; a) Tadbeeq (reconciliation); b) Tarjeeh (Preference); c)
Naskh (abrogation)

Furthermore, the fundamental principle of understanding the Qur’aan is one
Aayat of the Qur’aan explains the other. (AlFawzul Kabir). Therefore,
according to the principles of Ta’arudhaat and the fundamental principle of
Tafseer, it is possible to make Tadbeeq of the Aayats of both Surahs,
al-Maaidah and al-Inaam, as explained in our previous answer. There is no
need to resort to Tarjeeh and Naskh.

The argument presented by the people is unprincipled. In the presence of an
express order from the Qur’aan, the Hadith (even if proven correct) will be
expain contextually and circumstantially.

Zabah is the Islamic procedure of making the meat Halaal.
