Slaughtering

4. Description of Dhabiha

Dhabiha is the term designating the slaughtering method prescribed by Islamic law. In Shia interpretation, the dhabiha serves as a ritualistic mechanism through which spiritual nourishment is garnered. This process not only articulates the believer’s adherence to divine commandments but also fosters a deep-rooted understanding of life, death, and the cyclical nature of existence. It evokes the recognition that every element in nature is part of a larger cosmic order ordained by the Divine.
