Islam and machine slaughter

Q.   Some ulama are accepting machine slaughter. What is the ruling?

A.   Machine slaughtering is absolutely haraam. Animals killed by a machine are haraam. The Ulama who say that machine slaughtering is permissible, simply do not know what they are blurting out. We have prepared a detailed explanation of this issue. Anyone interested may write for a copy.

THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU — THE MUSLIM CONSUMER!

SANHA CONFIRMS THROUGH ITS MOUTHPIECE…………………

THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOU — THE MUSLIM CONSUMER!

ITS ONLY MONEY MAKING THAT COUNTS!

In a recent interview conducted on Friday morning, 16th April 2010,
by the DJ, Suliman Ravat on Sanha’s

mouthpiece, the radio station based in Lenasia, SANHA’s head
cleric, Navlakhi made some startling

admissions, which confirm what we have believed all along and what
we have been trying to bring to

the Muslim Public’s attention.

SANHA is committing khiyaanat on a gigantic scale.

The entire interview was spurred by the fact that the Jamiatul Ulama
Gauteng sent out an sms informing

the Muslim Public regarding the status of Bokomo’s Pronutro
products. Bokomo by their own admission

stated that all their Pronutro flavours are NOT halaal.

In the radio interview, the DJ spoke to a female representative of
Bokomo. When asked by the DJ

regarding the statements of Pronutro being Haraam, she stated, inter
alia, “…Yes, in the interim, given

the history there might have been reports, old information stating
that that might have been the fact.

But it is not the fact currently…”

By the way, their present ‘confession’ that some Pronutros are
now ‘halaal’ is questionable based on the

fact that their website, as of writing this notice, indicates the
opposite and also that this ‘confession’ of

theirs comes only AFTER we had brought this issue to the public.

The Bokomo spokesperson stated that for them to change a flavour
which has been successfully

marketed for a long time is not a small matter. It is a “drastic
step”. It is a long-drawn procedure which

would take time. They need to test the substitutes and only after a
successful research program will they

‘take the plunge’. As of a few days ago, Bokomo sends out a list
of their cereals in which they clearly

state that ALL their Pronutro flavours are NOT halaal. This leads
one to question this latest overnight

halaal certification, and that too, only after it has become public.

Be that as it may, Navlakhi stated that SANHA had been working with
Bokomo since its (SANHA’s)

inception in the mid 90’s. He said that they “have
correspondence on file” regarding this involvement

with Bokomo since the mid 90’s. They have also incidentally
certified some of Bokomo Foods other

products. By SANHA’s and Bokomo’s admission in the interview,
there was a question as to the halaal

status of the flavours in Pronutro.

So, if SANHA was ‘working with them’ for over a decade, they did
not give ‘halaal certification’ based on

the fact that the favours were not halaal – In layman’s language
these flavours were HARAAM – then

WHY DID SANHA, NOTWITHSTANDING THE FACT THAT THEY KNEW THESE
PRODUCTS WERE NOT

HALAAL FOR MUSLIMS, NOT AT LEAST WARN MUSLIMS TO REFRAIN?

Navlakhi also said that he ‘takes his hat off for Bokomo’
because they have been so open and

transparent in divulging their ingredients. Now when SANHA had this
information at hand, and still have

not given Bokomo certification, proves without a shred of doubt that
these ingredients are HARAAM.

The Bokomo spokesperson further stated that they have been working
with ‘halaal-certifying’ bodies for

many years now, trying to “get our house in order”, and yet none
of these charlatan certifiers saw fit to

certify them. There must be some really HARAAM stuff going into
Pronutro to warrant this long delay.

We have courteously asked Bokomo to apprise us of the mystery
(non-halaal) ingredient contained in

Pronutro, but they completely evade this simple query of ours.

Bokomo, by their own admission, state that they have been
considering certification by MJC, SANHA,

NIHTS and ICSA. In other words, the race is on! Who would be the
lucky one to scoop this jackpot!

Jackpot it is indeed. Imagine the millions they stand to earn by
certifying Bokomo’s cereals. SANHA has

its ‘foot in the door’ at Bokomo and they are yearning to get
the contract. After all, their adversary in

the certification racket, NIHTS, has managed to acquire the Kelloggs
booty.

Money is most certainly the motivating factor which led to SANHA not
informing the Muslim public all

these years to abstain from Pronutro, until further clarification.

Further into the interview, Navlakhi stated that many school going
children relied on Pronutro for

their breakfast, and yet this traitor did not have the decency of
informing the Muslim Public all these

years to exercise caution until Bokomo managed to get their act in
order. Sanha knew of these nonhalaal

(nay, HARAAM) flavours and kept silent!

Ironically, Bokomo now claims that some of their Pronutros are
‘halaal’ and some are still not ‘halaal

certified’. Incidentally, this ‘halaal-certified’ bogus
argument being touted by Sanha and Bokomo is

merely a ruse to mislead the unwary. It is their usual play of
words. They now harp on the contention

that Pronutro is not ‘halaal-certified’ and that they will only
claim it to be ‘halaal’ after they have official

certification. If this is truly the case, why does Bokomo
categorically state in their product list that their

other cereals are ‘halaal’? Even those which are not as yet
‘certified’ by anyone.

At the end of the interview, Navlakhi was unwittingly cornered by
his own minion, the DJ, Suliman

Ravat, when asked what SANHA says regarding the Pronutro products
which Bokomo say are still not

‘halaal-certified’. Navlakhi could not and did not say that
these Pronutros are Halaal or that Muslims can

consume them.

Now, more than a decade later, only after we make this matter
public, does SANHA inform the public

to abstain. All those years ago, when they KNEW that ALL Pronutros
were HARAAM (which the

Bokomo spokeswoman admitted as “might have been a fact”), why
did they not inform us, The

Muslim Public, then? Why break the silence only now when the matter
is public property?

Sanha cared more for the sentiments of a kaafir Company and they
desired not to upset a non-Muslim

Company AT THE EXPENSE of the Muslim Consumer!

If the Muslim Public does not see through the facade of these
money-hungry ‘halaal-certifying’ bodies

after this, we fear that their hearts have already become corroded
and turned to stone.

When SANHA was working closely with Bokomo for ALL these years how
come they have not as yet

bagged the contract to certify Bokomo cereals? They needed all the
cereals to be ‘halaal’ before they

ventured to issue the certificate. The fact that the flavours in
Pronutros were not ‘up to halaal standard’

they obediently trotted behind Bokomo, with their tail between their
legs, waiting for Bokomo to find

suitable alternatives. Had we not made this public, the Muslim
Public would still be consuming

HARAAM. Yes, we can now safely say HARAAM, because this was alluded
to by Bokomo’s spokesperson.

The fact that a loose liberal organisation like SANHA could not bear
to give halaal status all these years,

obviously indicates that the ingredients in question must have been
HARAAM. And our question still

remains:

Why did SANHA remain silent all these years at the expense of the
Muslim Public?

May Allah Ta`ala have mercy on our souls and may He forgive us for
what we were unaware of. May He

remove shaitaan’s cohorts from positions from which they lead this
Ummat astray.
