Assalam o Alaikum,

The meat that the Maple Lodge Farm sells in Mississauga, Ontario… Is it halal? Many people say yes but there are some who say no. The ones who say no justify by saying that the chicken goes through a machine and a tape recorder is played in which the Muslim says the words that are said prior to slaughtering the animal in the Islamic way. Even if this is true, is the meat considered acceptable/halal? Can the tape recorder be enough for having the meat slaughtered in the halal way? I’ve been curious about the timing between the meat and the voice…

Can someone clarify this for me? I wouldn’t want to eat meat that’s haram…

Peace & Peaceful Islam,

The livestock companies planted slaughter unit for sacrifice purpose and it is accepted as halaal. Let me help you to understand it in very simple way. If you are going to buy fresh (alive) chicken then it will cost you more then packed chicken. Ask yourself why? B’coz of the quantity purpose and of demand, precisely speaking to make more and more money, although you’ll find packed chicken in fresh.

I know that I can buy two packed chickens with same cost of one alive chicken but we prefer to buy alive chicken and then we give some extra money to the shop owner to scarify it for us.

If you are not satisfy or have any doubt about packed food then i’ll suggest spend little more money and buy fresh (alive). However, I’m not sure whether the packed meat is halal or haram, but I can avoid so i’m avoiding to buy packed food.
