YOGYAKARTA - The procedure for slaughtering Muslim animals must be well understood by Muslims. One of them is the use of tools for slaughtering, not using any tools carelessly. So how about the tools for slaughtering that are allowed?

The requirements for using a tool to slaughter focus on sharpness in cutting and bleeding. Regarding the tools that need to be used for slaughtering have been conveyed in several hadiths. As Muslims, you need to know what the allowed slaughtering tools are like and the reason for them.

The tool allowed to slaughter animals is a tool made of metal, stone, or glass. This was conveyed in the book Fiqih Islam: Terjemah Matan Al-Ghayah Wa At-Taqrib by M. Jauharul Eka Mawahib et al (2021:83). The tool with it has a sharp nature.

In addition, it is not allowed to slaughter using nails and teeth. The recommendation is contained in the Al Bukhari history hadith as follows:

"We are worried that tomorrow we will meet the enemy without a knife, will we slaughter him with wood?" He replied, "Every thing that is shed by blood is called the name of Allah, death, except with tools of teeth and nails. I will tell you about it. In terms of teeth, it includes bones, while nails are the knife of Abyssinia people."

The slaughter must be carried out by Muslims by saying the name of Allah Swt. Meanwhile, the part that must be slaughtered is the front of the neck and is not carried out on other parts of the body.

The slaughtering process must be carried out only once and the animal is immediately killed. Therefore, slaughtering must be done using a really sharp tool.

The following are the procedures for slaughtering true animals according to Islamic teachings:

"Indeed Allah Swt. Requires to do ihsan in all kinds of things. If you kill, then kill it ihsan, and if you slaughter it, then slaughter it ihsan. You should sharpen the knife and make fun of it. (HR Muslim)

This can make the animal that will be slaughtered afraid before being slaughtered, it is based on the hadith Ibnu Umar radhiallahu anhuma who said Rasulullah Saw. ordered to hone the knife without showing it to the animal. (HR. Ahmad, Ibnu Majah)

The following are some of the provisions for people slaughtering sacrificial animals according to Islam:

You can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't.

'Don't eat something from (the animal meat) that (when slaughtered) is not called the name of Allah. It's really something to you. Indeed, demons are always whispering to their friends so that they argue with you. If you obey them, you are really musyrik.' (Al-An'am: 121)
