- Avoid cutting too deep while slaughtering, ensuring that the knife does not reach the neck bones, as this leads to undue pain. 

- Do not cut off its legs or start skinning the animal until it has completely cooled down after slaughter. 

- After slaughtering, refrain from touching the cut throat or placing the knife on it until the soul has fully departed. 

- Some butchers hasten the process by peeling the skin of a struggling cow’s neck and stabbing it to cut the heart's veins. Similarly, some slaughter a goat and immediately break its neck—such acts of cruelty must not be carried out. 

Whoever is able must stop those who unnecessarily harm animals; failing to do so, despite having the ability, makes one guilty and can lead to punishment in the Hereafter.^[1]

May Allah Almighty grant us all the blessing of compassion, especially the ability to be merciful toward animals, to offer sacrifices with sincere intentions, and to ensure the comfort of the sacrificial animals.

اٰمِیْنْ بِجَاہِ خاتَمِ النَّبِیّٖن صلَّی اللہُ عَلَیْہ ِوَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ 

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                     صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
