SHARIAsource

This fatwa states that every animal slaughter audit must be recorded in writing and, at the very least, contain the following:

1. an explanation of the slaughter method, process and mechanism, whether it be traditional or modern;
2. an explanation of the slaughter findings, whether those parts of the animal which, according to shari'a, must be cut were or were not cut;
3. if using a stunner, the voltage used (the maximum permissible voltage being 40 volts);
4. the condition of the animal after being stunned, whether the animal is still alive (hayah mustaqirrah); and
5. the slaughterer's knowledge of Islamic law insofar as it applies to the slaughter of animals.
