With Nahr, the slaughterer cuts the throat at the base of the neck then immediately follows it up with a horizontal cut. With Dhabihah the slaughterer cuts the throat of the cow in a horizontal orientation from the beginning onward. Both methods ultimately employ a horizontal cut.These methods are approved by a fatwa from the International Islamic Fiqh Academy and HTO’s Shari‘ah Board.HTO certifies the slaughter of cow using two methods: Dhabihah (horizontal slaughter) and Nahr (slaughter involving stabbing first then horizontally cutting vessels that’s ideally used for camel, allowed for cattle).Together, they explained to me the following: Alabsy, happened to be in town in Chicago and met with me along with two of the scholars on their Shari’ah Board. I reached back out to HTO about their process. The inquiries were in regard to if the company was using the vertical “European” cut for their beef which doesn’t cut the major passages in the neck of the cow and potentially doesn’t drain out all blood. I hope you’re doing well! I wanted to ask you question about Creekstone Farms which I had written an article on as being certified Halal and have been looking into in the past few weeks.Īfter posting my initial article covering their Halal certification, some questions came up about the company’s slaughtering method that is approved by their certifier Halal Transactions of Omaha (HTO). Subject: Question regarding Creekstone Farms The Email I sent to those scholars was as follows. While I had done this with one scholar for my initial article that broke the Creekstone news, Mufti Hussain advised to send it to multiple scholars to ensure the research is accepted by scholars from multiple backgrounds, schools of Islamic law, and opinions. Per Mufti Hussain’s advice, I sent the summary to a number of other American scholars to verify and check the research I did checked out. In the end, I wrote a high-level summary of the information I found. Together with Mufti Hussain Kamani, we had a friendly conversation about Halal, issues in the Muslim community, and specifically the issues which I had reached back out to them on.
They even offered to let me meet up with them and some of the scholars on their Shari ‘ah Board during a business trip to Chicago. HTO clarified all of the issues that arose via Email and phone. With his help I reached back out to Halal Transactions of Omaha for a follow-up seeking clarification on their standards as a certifier and on Creekstone in specific. I reached out to Mufti Hussain Kamani, a scholar and friend in my Chicagoland locality I know and trust. There were also some inquiries about their Halal certifier, Halal Transactions of Omaha.
