Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Islamic Laws Slaughtering and Hunting of Animals Issue 2592: * If an animal whose meat is halal to eat, is slaughtered in the manner which will be described later, irrespective of whether it is domesticated or not, its meat becomes halal and its body becomes Clean (tahir/pak) after it has died. But camels, fish and locust become halal without their heads being slaughtered, as will be explained later.

Issue 2593: If a wild animal like deer, partridge and wild goat whose meat is halal to eat, or a halal animal which was a domestic one but turned wild later, like, a cow or a camel which runs away and becomes wild, is hunted in accordance with the laws which will be explained later, it is Clean (tahir/pak) and halal to eat. But, a domestic animal like sheep and fowl whose meat is halal to eat, or tamed wild animal whose meat is halal to eat does not become Clean (tahir/pak) and halal by hunting.

Issue 2594: A wild animal whose meat is halal to eat becomes Clean (tahir/pak) and halal to eat by hunting if it is capable of running away or flying. Based on this, the young one of a deer which cannot run away, and the young one of a partridge which cannot fly, do not become Clean (tahir/pak) and halal to eat by hunting. And if a deer and its young one which cannot run are hunted with one bullet, the deer will be halal but its young one will be haraam to eat.

Issue 2595: If an animal like fish, whose meat is halal to eat and whose blood does not gush, dies a natural death, it is Clean (tahir/pak) but its meat cannot be eaten. Issue 2596: The dead body of an animal whose meat is haraam to eat, and whose blood does not gush, like, a snake, is Clean (tahir/pak) but does not become halal by slaughtering. Issue 2597: * Dogs and pigs do not become Clean (tahir/pak) by slaughtering and hunting and it is also haraam to eat their meat.

And if a flesh-eating animal like wolf and leopard is slaughtered in the manner which will be mentioned later, or is hunted by means of bullet etc. it is Clean (tahir/pak), but its meat does not become halal for consumption. And if it is hunted down by a hunting dog, then its body cannot be considered as Clean (tahir/pak). Issue 2598: Elephant, bear, monkey are classified as predators.

But the insects or the small animals who live in the holes, like, mice, lizards, if they have gushing blood, their meat and skin will not be considered Clean (tahir/pak) if they are slaughtered or hunted down.
