02 Jalallah Animal

What is jalallah Animal?

Jalallah animal is an animal which eat
najas, fithly animal.

Malaysian Standard:
Animals whose flesh smells bad
because they eat impurities and live
in an unclean environment.
 Jalallah Animal definition
based on Madhaahib

Hadith from al-Imam

Ahmad bin Hanbal, al-
Imam Abu Daud dan al-
Imam Tirmizi
Syafi'iyah, Malikiyyah, rahimahumullahu taala.
Hanafiah
Hanabilah ‫َنَهى َر ُسْو ُل ِهللا َع ِن اْلَج ْاَّلَلِة َو َأْلَبْاِنَهْا‬

as their basic food without
impurities as food but they The prophet SAW forbade anyone
eating different foods
also eat other foods beside the from eating jalallah meat and milk
impurities

forbidden (Makruh tanzih) the fish are being kept in an
Syafi;yyah unclean water purposely or

Malikiyah Harus/ Mubah on
Quarantine (Al-Istibra')

What is Al-istibra'?
• The process of quarantine al-Jalallah animal such as
chicken, cows, camels and goats that are being fed
by feces and poop

• Purpose: eliminate the impurities that are present in

it by giving it pure and clean food

• If the animal is locked up (quarantine) to be given

clean food until it has lost its odor and impurities,
then eating the meat is legal and is not harmful.
 Quarantine Periods
Mazhab Syafie Camel – 40 days
Sheep – 4 days
Chicken – 3 days

Abu hanifah Quarantine 3 days

Imam Ahmad Chicken – 3 days

Camel and cow – 40 days

Mazhab Hanafi and one opinion from There is no specific period. When it lose
Syafie Mazhab the smells / taste, it is edible
03 Muktabah Animals

What is Muktabah Animals?

• What people see as disgusting and filthy by
nature - not because it is 'illah' or 'unnatural'
- but simply because it is considered
disgusting, is illegal

• When some people consider it disgusting and

what is not, what matters is the response of
the community.
 03 HOW DO THE VARIOUS MADHAAHIB DEFINE WHAT IS MUKTABAH

They used this rule quite liberally to prohibit many items that other
madhabs consider halal. Abu Haneefah was an aristrocat from Persia Abu Haneefah
therefore, he considered a lot of animals filthy and disgusting.

The Shafi'es said that they would allow the sophisticated,

cultured Arabs who lived in the city what is mustakhbath. Shafi'es

The Hambalis said that the Arabs lived all over the world, and their
cultural differences were too broad. They said that we will find
mustakhbath based upon the city dwellers of the hijaaz region (Makkah Hanbali
and Madinah).

The Malikis refute all of them. The Prophet sallallahu'alayhi wa sallam

didn't like the lizard, but that didn't automatically make it haraam. Also,
another point from the hadith is that although the Prophet and Khalid Malikis
were from the same part of Arabia, the Prophet did not eat it, while
Khalid did.

HEALTH OF
SLAUGHTERING
Prohibited to you are dead animals, blood, the flesh of swine, and that which has been dedicated to
other than Allah, and [those animals] killed by strangling or by a violent blow or by a head-long fall or
by the goring of horns, and those from which a wild animal has eaten, except what you [are able to]
slaughter [before its death], and those which are sacrificed on stone altars, and [prohibited is] that
you seek decision through divining arrows. That is grave disobedience. This day those who disbelieve
have despaired of [defeating] your religion; so fear them not, but fear Me. This day I have perfected
for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion.
But whoever is forced by severe hunger with no inclination to sin – then indeed, Allah is Forgiving and
Merciful. (Surah al-
Ma’idah:3)
