Fatwa #4414522 January 2020Pakistan
IFANCA Halal Slaughter
Question
Assalam walaikum My question is regarding Canada IFANCA halal certification agency, following is their method of halal certification and they approved machine slaughter cutting halal. Mufti Ibrahim Desai’s name is mentioned as their one of the religious advisors. My question is do you (mufti Ibrahim) approve/ authorize their method of halal machine slaughter? And how it is different compared to other halal machine slaughter processes that you mentioned are not halal in your other fatwas. https://www.ifanca.org/Pages/article-details.aspx?ItemId=1 I will appreciate your quick response Jazakallah
Answer
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
Mufti Ebrahim Desai Saheb is not currently affiliated with IFANCA in any capacity. He did not approve of the IFANCA machine slaughter process.
