Consuming Halaal
Q: I follow the Hanafi fiqh and the Hanafi fiqh states that chicken must be hand slaughtered. Machine slaughtered chickens cannot be eaten. The Shafi'ee fiqh allows for the consumption of machine slaughtered chicken as long as it is done the proper way (with Kalima). In Makkah and Madina there are mostly Shafi'ee followers. Is it okay for me, a follower of the Hanafi fiqh, to eat chicken when I go for Umrah and Hajj if it is not hand slaughtered?
