SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
To change the detrimental practices and ulterior economic motives associated with current practices in modern industrial meat production and the ritual slaughtering of animals, informed Muslim voices must be at the forefront of all efforts calling on Muslims to return to Islamic morality and ethics regarding food consumption. In the examination of modern Muslim industrial meat production and ritual slaughter, morality and ethics must be considered, otherwise Muslims will only concern themselves with positive injunctions that regulate behavior (halal) rather than consider important relevant negative injunctions (haram) that proscribe certain other behavior. A misunderstanding of historical non-binding legal rulings (fatawa) and legal positions have led some modern reformist Muslim scholars to consider animal slaughter a non-ritual act ('adah ) not to be a ritual act (ta'bbudi). This shift has opened the door to a materialist approach that caused a fundamental contradiction to Islam's spiritual teachings.
