Zabiha & Slaughter

Does Grass-Fed Meat Mean Halal?

Answered by Halal Monitoring Services Updated

HMS Answer

NO

No. Grass-fed describes the animal's diet and does not tell you who slaughtered the animal or whether the Zabiha requirements were fulfilled.

The full answer

No.

Grass-fed describes the animal's diet.

It does not tell you who slaughtered the animal, whether Bismillah was pronounced or whether the Zabiha requirements were fulfilled.

Grass-fed and Halal are two completely different questions.
