| description | Though ethics in animal slaughter are still not by the standards, animal slaughter is an essential component of human existence. This study aims to develop the principles of Islamic doctrine in honor of animals that will be slain. Qualitative methodology with a literature study orientation is used in this study. The book of Hadith and the verses of the Quran are used in the study data. By matching Hadith and Qur'anic verses, the data will be examined. The findings demonstrated that the Qur'an and Hadith support respect for animals to be killed. The slaughtered animal has to express thanks by invoking the name of Allah. Then, Islam has rules for humane care of animals. According to ethical principles and animal welfare, Islam develops slaughter policies. Classifications include requirements for animal killing and tool provisions. Through several treatments suggested by Islam, evidence of morality in animal killing is shown so that slaughtered animals are not anxious. Five or more phases in the ritual of animal slaughter are Intentionality as a spiritual component, acknowledgment of Allah's name (Bismillah), Qibla orientation, velocity and precision in killing, and animal welfare. |
