The verse "If a man kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell to abide therein for ever" was revealed six months
after the verse "And those who invoke not with Allah any other god, nor slay such life as Allah has made sacred, except for
just cause in Surat al-Furqan.
SLAUGHTER:
6:137 - Even so in the eyes of most of the Pagans their `partners' made alluring the slaughter of their
children in order to lead them to their own destruction and cause confusion in their religion. If Allah
had willed they would not have done so: but leave alone them and their inventions. 959
959 The false gods and idols -among many nations, including the Arabs -were supposed to require human sacrifices.
Ordinarily such sacrifices are revolting to man, but they are made "alluring" -a sacred rite- by Pagan custom, which
falsely arrogates to itself the name of religion. Such customs, if allowed, would do nothing but destroy the people who
practise them, and make thier religion but a confused bundle of revolting superstitions. (6.137)
22:36 - The sacrificial camels we have made for you as among the Symbols from Allah: in them is
(much) good for you: then pronounce the name of Allah over them as they line up (for
sacrifice): when they are down on their sides (after slaughter) eat ye thereof and feed such as
(beg not but) live in contentment and such as beg with due humility: thus have we made
animals subject to you that ye may be grateful. 28132814
2813 See n. 2808 to xxii. 33 above. What was expressed in general terms is applied here more particularly to camels, the
most precious and useful animals of Arabia, whose mode of slaughter for sacrifice is different from that of smaller
animals: the special word for such sacrifice is Nahr (cviii.2). (22.36)
2814 There are ethics in begging, as in charity. No approval is given to arrogant and insolent begging, though the relief of
distress of all kinds, deserved and undeserved, is included in charity. But those who beg with humility and those who
receive gifts with gratitude and contentment are both mentioned for special attention. Charity should not be given for
show, or to get rid of importunate demands. It should find out real needs and meet them. (22.36)
33:16 - Say: "Running away will not profit you if ye are running away from death or slaughter; and
even if (ye do escape) no more than a brief (respite) will ye be allowed to enjoy!" 3687
3687 The coward in a fight does not usually save himself from death. He is subject, after desertion, to the fury both of the
enemy and of his own side for cowardice and desertion. Assuming that he did escape with his life, where could he go
to? The brand of cowardice will be on him, and he will be Subject to the vegeance of his own people. In any case, his
life would be in ignominy and would be brief, and he would have lost irretrievably the meed of valour. (33.16)

Slaughtering Camels in a Standing Position
It is desirable to slaughter camels in a standing position with their left legs tied as in the following
ahadith:…..
1. Muslim reported from Ziyad bin Jubair that Ibn 'Umar came upon a man who was slaughtering a camel while it was
sitting. He said to the man, "Let it stand up, and tie its legs. This is the sunnah of your Prophet (peace be upon him)."
2. Abu Daw'ud reported from Jabir that the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his companions used to slaughter their
sacrificial camels with their left legs tied and standing on three legs."
3. Hakim reported from Ibn 'Abbas concerning the Qur'anic verse (22.36) "then pronounce the name of Allah over them
as they line up (for sacrifice)" he interpreted it to mean "as they line up and stand on three legs." As for cows and
sheep it is preferable to slaughter them in a lying position. According to some it is disliked to slaughter an animal
standing that is to be slaughtered lying down and vice-versa. Others disagree and hold it is not disliked. It is preferable
to slaughter one' s animal with one' s own hands, if possible, otherwise one may assign someone else to do it on
one's behalf, but one must be present there.
