Tue 10 Jm1 1435 - 11 March 2014  Leaving blood in the animal
after slaughter  Some meat factories in the western countries
deliberately do not drain the blood from the animal after
slaughter, so that it will weigh more and they will thus make
more money from it. What is the ruling on eating this meat?
Praise be to Allaah.     Leaving the blood in the animal after
slaughter and not draining it is haraam and is not permitted.
Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning):  “Forbidden to you
(for food) are: Al-Maytah (dead animals – cattle-beast not
slaughtered), blood…” [al-Maa’idah 5:3]  And Allaah knows best.
