Kindness in Killing and Slaughtering Animals

SUMMARY: Allah has prescribed kindness in all aspects of life, including killing and slaughtering animals.

Abu Ya'la Shaddad bin 'Aus (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah said, "Verily Allah has prescribed Ihsan (kindness) for everything. So when you kill, you must make the killing in the best manner; when you slaughter, make your slaughter in the best manner. Let one of you sharpen his knife and give ease to his animal (in order to reduce his pain)". Muslim.
وعن أبى يعلى شداد بن أوس رضي الله عنه، عن رسول الله قال‏:‏ “إن الله كتب الإحسان على كل شئ، فإذا قتلتم فأحسنوا القتلة وإذا ذبحتم فأحسنوا الذبحة، وليحد أحدكم شفرته وليرح ذبيحته” ‏(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏)‏‏)‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about the importance of being kind even when it comes to killing or slaughtering animals. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught that Allah has prescribed kindness for everything, so when one kills an animal, they should do it in the best manner possible by sharpening their knife and giving ease to the animal to reduce its pain. This teaches us that we should be kind even when dealing with animals, as Allah has commanded us to be kind in all aspects of life. We should also take care not to cause unnecessary suffering or pain for any living creature as this goes against Islamic teachings.
