Read the pledge they signed
The slaughterer's pledge
- I am a Muslim, an adult, and of sound mind.
- I know the rules of a valid slaughter: to say Allah's name over the animal, to use a sharp blade, to cut the windpipe, the gullet and both jugular veins in one quick motion, to let the blood flow out, and to wait until the animal is completely still before cutting further or skinning.
- I know the conditions of the rite I'm carrying out: a sound animal of the right age and, for udhiya, slaughter only after the Eid prayer and within the days of sacrifice.
- I understand the weight of this act. It is worship, done on behalf of another person, and I will carry it out as carefully as if it were my own.
- I will be gentle with the creatures of Allah: give them water and calm, keep the blade out of their sight, never slaughter one in front of another, and never drag, throw or frighten them.
- I recognize that Allah has favored us by permitting this sacrifice and the meat it provides. I will do it with gratitude and humility, not as routine work.
- Everything I record in the app is real and from this animal. I will never stage, reuse or edit footage.
“Allah has prescribed excellence in everything… let each of you sharpen his blade and spare the animal suffering.”Sahih Muslim 1955 · meaning
