Cruelties in breeding, transport, slaughter & general welfare
If animals have been subjected to cruelties in their breeding, transport, slaughter, or in their general welfare, meat from them is considered impure and unlawful to eat (Haram).
The flesh of animals killed by cruel methods (Al-Muthiah) is carrion (Al-Mujaththamah). Even if these animals have been slaughtered in the strictest Islamic manner, if cruelties were inflicted on them otherwise, their flesh is still forbidden (Haram) food:
Oh, ye messengers! Eat of the good things {tayyibat} and do righteous deeds. Surely, I know what you do." (Qur'an.23:51).
Oh believers! Eat what We have provided for you of lawful and good things, and give thanks for Allah's favour, if it is He whom you serve. (Qur'an 2:172; 16:114).
The word 'Tayyib', translated as 'good', 'pure', 'wholesome', etc. means pure both in the physical and the moral sense.
Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt.
On the authority of Al-Hasan ibin Ali, the grandson of the messenger of Allah, who said : I memorized from the Messenger of Allah his saying:
"Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt."
Narrated by At-Tirmidhi and An-Nasa'i, and At-Tirmidhi said it is an authentic hadith (hasan sahih).
