"The Islamic Laws of Animal Slaughter" takes up a subject every Muslim household touches on: the rulings that govern dhabihah, the Islamic method of slaughter. For a topic so ordinary and so consequential, it helps to have a dedicated volume to turn to rather than piecing the rulings together from scattered sources.

At 160 pages, White Thread Press has kept this a compact, focused work, the kind of book that sits comfortably near the kitchen or the study desk rather than gathering dust with the heavier reference works. Its size alone suggests something meant to be consulted rather than skimmed once and set aside.

Published in 2006, this edition offers readers a clear, dedicated resource on a topic that touches daily life directly. For anyone looking to understand the fiqh behind how meat is made permissible, this is a modest and dependable place to begin.
