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.
