Summary/Abstract: The meat of some animals is absolutely forbidden to consume while the meat of others is allowed under certain conditions. Animals that live solely in water are allowed without slaughter, except for land animals whose meat will only be allowed if they are slaughtered in a special way. Due to that it is necessary to fulfill certain conditions related to the animal itself, the person who is slaughtering, the way it has been done and the accessories it uses. This paper deals with the analysis of these conditions, with an overview of the ways of killing animals in modern slaughterhouses. By comparing the four known mezheb, the views of scholars about the types of animals whose meat is forbidden to be eaten are explicated. Also it highlights the issues in which scholars have taken a unique position and the issues in which they have diverged, as well as the arguments they invoke and which opinion is preferred.
