The Ruling on a Woman's Slaughter

The Ruling on a Woman's Slaughter
Question:

Is it permissible for a woman to slaughter an animal? And is it permissible to eat from it?
Answer:

It is permissible for a woman to slaughter an animal, the same as a man, as has been confirmed by the Sunnah from the Messenger of Allaah sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam. It is permissible to eat from the animal she has slaughtered, if she is a Muslim or one of the People of the Scripture and the animal was slaughtered according to the Islamic Law, even if a man was available to do it for her. It is not a condition for the permissibility of her sacrificial animal that there be no man present.

  3. yep ummasad, must admit I feel that way about the "blood on hands" thing, a bit silly maybe, but one has to be realistic, it may come to point where she has to do it.. just like women driving (I'm not Saudi, LOL, but I agree with it somewhat, especially at night), never know when she may have to do it... moreover in this side of the world, especially if she has a job, has to go to market and etc. can't always depend on the brothers, ya know...

  5. LOL, of course by choice, there are no Muslimahs here (well, unmarried ones). After reading a very interesting lecture by someone (can't remember his name and don't know if he was a Shaikh or 'alim) but it's something the brothers who marry non-muslim women should take to heart and stop quoting ahadith and misunderstanding them and not see the reality of the present times... Gotta see if I can find that page. Wallahu 'alam.
