i am studying for a degree in kiev which is a city in the ukraine, can you please tell me if this chicken that comes from a company called QUALIKO is halal, as there is a certificate on the website and on the package there are countless halal stamps, please can you help me?
this is the website http://www.qualiko.ua
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
The website in reference has a video which shows how the chickens are cut.
We observed in the video that the chickens are cut using machines. This slaughtering method is incompatible with Sharῑ’ah.[1]
We have contacted the company and have not yet received a response. Accordingly, we would advise that you refrain from eating Qualiko chicken.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
