Question

as salaam mu alikum, is qualiko chicken halal?

firstly i want to thank on this extremelly helpfull site

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

Answer

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
