Animal Should Not Be Skinned before Dying
Issue No. 2231- The head of the animal should not be severed from its body before it has completely died as a recommended precaution. Therefore, if there is some equipment for slaughtering animals which sever the head of the animal, though the animal does not become haram but it would be better that they work in a way that the head is not cut off completely. In any case, all the conditions prescribed for slaughtering should be observed in machines. It is also a recommended precaution that the spinal cord of the animal which is in the middle of the vertebral column, should not be cut before the animal dies, nor should the animal be skinned before it dies.
