Brief Explanation
1؎: Cutting off the limbs such as hands, feet, nose, ears, etc., of a living being and thereby disfiguring its appearance is called "muthlah" (mutilation). Muthlah is haram (forbidden), whether it is done to a human or an animal. However, after slaughtering a lawful (halal) animal, cutting it into pieces for the purpose of preparing its meat is not considered muthlah. In muthlah, the sole intention is to disfigure the form and discard it.

Hadith Commentary:
(1)
Allah, the Exalted, is Himself merciful and commands others to show mercy as well. Thus, the noble statement of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) is:
"Allah has made excellence (ihsan) obligatory upon everything. Therefore, when you kill, kill in the best manner, and when you slaughter an animal, slaughter it in the best manner. So, let one of you sharpen his knife and let him give comfort to his sacrificial animal." (Sahih Muslim, al-Sayd wa’l-Dhaba’ih, Hadith: 5055 (1955))
(2)
To tie up any animal and then kill it is to inflict pain upon it, which is not permitted in the Shari‘ah.
