Q: A certain Muslim butchery, sells Qurbaani Sheep, and also offers a service where they cut the sheep for you, skin it, store it, and when you come to fetch it, they slice it and give it to you. A certain person paid them R 1800 for one sheep; they accordingly slaughtered it on Eid Day and kept the carcass for this person. When this person went to the butchery to have his meat sliced and taken away, the butchery apologized that they cannot find the carcass, it has been misplaced, or perhaps they had given it to someone else by mistake. Does the butchery have to now refund the R1800 to this person?

Q: I wish to inquire about the scalding process at the chicken factories. The slaughtered chickens are immersed whilst still bleeding with the intestines, impurities etc into a hot water tank for softening the feathers etc, this water is filthy and some of the impurities are possibly absorbed into the flesh. Approx 500 to 700 birds at any point in time with all the impurities etc could be in this hot water at any point in time, where it remains for approx 5 min. how does this process affect the status of the meat? Does the meat remain halaal or does it become makrooh or haraam for Muslim consumption?
