Q: Can you elaborate on the fiqh regarding hand slaughter versus machine slaughter? Is machine slaughter permissible, or is it considered haram?

Answer:  For the animal to be permissible, these are the conditions: 1. The person cutting should be a sane Muslim.

2. The person must recite "Bismillahi Allahu Akbar" while cutting.

3. The person must cut the blood veins, food, and breathing pipes.

A machine-cut process can't fulfill the above conditions. Hence, it's not permissible.
