Dought & Clear, - Is there a specific age at which animals may beslaughtered?.

Is there a specific age at which animals may be slaughtered? Because
there is a debate here in India about the age at which it is
permissible toslaughter animals. What I mean here is slaughter for
food and daily consumption, not udhiyah (sacrifice). They say that the
appropriate age for that is two years,and it is not permissible below
that age. Is this correct?
Praise be to Allah.
There is no stipulated age for slaughter of any of the an'aam animals
(camels, cattle, sheep and goats), if the purpose is only for food. If
someone were to slaughter a lamb that was only one day old or less, it
would be permissible for him to eat that meat, because there is no
evidence in Islam to indicate that this is not allowed, and because
the basic principle concerning what Allah has created for us is that
it is permissible. Anyone whosays that something is haraam has to
provide evidence. Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of
the meaning): "He it is Who created for you all that ison earth"
[al-Baqarah 2:29].
There are saheeh hadeeths which indicatethat the Prophet (blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him) ate lamb.
Al-Bukhaari (4101) and Muslim (2039) narrated that Jaabir (may Allah
bepleased with him) said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, come with me
to my house. Then I said to my wife: I have seen something (i.e.
hunger) in face of the Prophet (sa) that caused me concern; do you
have anything? She said: I have some barley and a kid (young goat). So
she slaughtered the kid and made dough with the barley, and we put the
meat in the pot. Then I went to the Prophet (blessings and peace of
Allah be upon him) … And he narrated the hadeeth, in which the Prophet
(blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and his Companions ate from
that kid (young goat).
According to the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah, when the Prophet (blessings
and peace of Allah be upon him) visited Abu'l-Haytham, along with Abu
Bakr, and 'Umar, Abu'l-Haytham went to make some food for them. The
Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "Do not
slaughter any animal that is producing milk. He said: So he
slaughtered a kid (young goat) or lamb forthem and brought it to them,
and they ate.
Narrated by Muslim (2038); at-Tirmidhi (2369).
The word translated as kid here refers to a female baby goat that has
not reached the age of one year.
End quote from an-Nihaayah, Baab al-'Ayn ma'a an-Noon.
The scholars, may Allah have mercy on them, have stated that if the
foetus of an an'aam animal comes out of its mother's womb alive and is
slaughtered in theprescribed manner, it is permissible to eat it.
Ibn Qudaamah said in al-Mughni (9/321): If it comes out alive and in a
stable condition, and it is possible to slaughter it, but it is not
slaughtered before it dies, then it has not been slaughtered properly.
Ahmad said: If it comes out alive, then it must be slaughtered
properly, because it is another soul.
Ibn Nujaym said in al-Bahr ar-Raa'iq (8/198): If it is known that the
sheep was alive at the time of slaughter, it becomes permissible
(halaal) by slaughtering, whether it moved or not.
End quote. See also al-Bahr ar-Raa'iq (8/195).
If it is proven that Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, has made
it permissible to His slaves to eat that without restricting it to a
specificage, then any condition or restriction that is added to that
is an innovation in religion and is a transgression against what Allah
has prescribed for His slaves.
Allah, may He be exalted,says (interpretation of the meaning): "And
say not concerning that which your tongues put forth falsely: 'This is
lawful and this is forbidden,' so as to invent lies against Allah.
Verily, those who invent lies against Allah will never prosper"
[an-Nahl 16:116].
And the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: "What
is the matter withmen who stipulate conditions that are not in the
Book of Allah? Anycondition that is not in the Book of Allah is
invalid, even if there are a hundred conditions. What is ordained by
Allah and the conditions stipulated by Him are more deserving of
beingadhered to."
This hadeeth was narrated by al-Bukhaari (2168) and Muslim (1504).
But if the animal is intended for udhiyah (sacrifice) and the like,
then it is essential that it reach a certain age. This has been
discussed in detail in the answer to question no. 41899 .

The Most Virtuous Day

Rasulullah (Allah bless him & give him peace) said: "Of all the days,
Friday is the most virtuous. It is on this day that the trumpet will
be blown. Send abundant durood upon me on Fridays because they are
presented to me on that day. " The Sahabah radiallahu anhum asked: "O
Rasulullah! How will they be presented to you when even your bones
will not be present after your death?" Rasulullah (Allah bless him &
give him peace) replied: "Allah Ta'ala has made the earth haraam upon
the prophets forever . " (Abu Dawud) - - ▓███▓ Translator:->

Petty Rivalry

Petty rivalry & name calling amongst religiouspersonnel makes the
masses very despondent. At times their own children turn away in
theprocess.
Whilst people change their lives positively we remain unchanged
because we believed some hearsay & were kept away by Satan.
Take the good from others & discount the rest. You'll be surprised how
much you benefit even from those you least expected to benefit from.
It is only the clean heart, that is in constant search for the truth,
that benefits the most.

The idea that Darwin made an important scientific discovery after his voyages is a deception

Darwinists may imagine that Darwin made stunning discoveries following
hisvoyages on HMS Beagle, and that he developed the idea of evolution
that way.
What Darwin actually did on the Beagle is this: Darwin embarked on a
naval adventure lasting several months, yelling out with drunken crew
members. He collected plants and insects, but did not go to the bother
of looking after them, and just set them to one side (One can find
detailsin his autobiography). What people think of as scientific
research is Darwin's naval trip spentdrinking with members of the
crew. Darwin laterproposed the twisted ideas of his grandfather,a
freemason, as if they were a great scientific discovery and led
massesof people to a pagan religion.
If Darwinists' claims were true, then the fossil record should contain
a large number of very strange life forms with several eye sockets,
noses in different places, a jaw in the back as well as in the front,
and abnormally developed skulls, as pictured here. Yet no such fossil
has ever been found after 150 years of research. On the contrary, all
thefossils unearthed to date show that all living things have been
flawless and fully formed since the moment they first came intobeing,
and never changed so long as they existed.
Neither during this voyage nor after it did Darwin have any scientific
discovery or evidence. He merely sought to maintain a heresy inherited
from his grandfather, ErasmusDarwin. Darwin at that time imagined that
the cell was a balloon full of water. He was ignorant of the science
of genetics. He was not even familiar with the electron microscope.
Theonly thing he knew was the need for transitional fossils if his
claims were to be confirmed as true. But he also knew that nosuch
thing existed. He therefore openly stated that "future generations"
would findthese as yet undiscovered imaginary transitional forms,
OTHERWISE HIS THEORY WOULD COLLAPSE. Darwin's exact words read:
... Why, if species have descended from other species by insensibly
finegradations, do we not everywhere see innumerable
transitionalforms? Why is not all nature in confusion instead of the
species being, as we see them, well defined?… But, as by this theory
innumerable transitionalforms must have existed,why do we not find
them embedded in countless numbers in thecrust of the earth?… Whythen
is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such
intermediate links? Geology assuredly does not reveal any such finely
graduated organicchain; and this, perhaps, is the most obvious and
gravest objection which can be urged against mytheory. (Charles
Darwin, The Origin of Species, pp. 172, 280)
At present, too, just as Darwin admitted, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A
TRANSITIONAL FOSSIL. Darwinists are in a state of shock. Darwin's
prophecy has come true. And what is more, science has revealed that
natural selection is not an evolutionary force, that the genetic
structures of living things are incredibly complex, that no random
process can produce such a perfect structure or add any new genetic
information, and that life can never emerge from inanimate substances.
These are other things Darwin did not know. After the fossilrecord,
perhaps the greatest blow to Darwinism came when THEY WERE UNABLE TO
MANUFACTURE EVEN A SINGLE PROTEIN. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE for the protein
that they cannot produce in the laboratory TO FORM BY CHANCE. These
facts have all led to Darwinism's collapse. - - ▓███▓
