Dam al-Masfuh
دم مسفوح
Text Size:
Dam al-Masfuh refers to "flowing blood," which is explicitly prohibited for consumption in the Quran. In the context of dietary laws (Halal and Haram), this refers to the blood that drains from an animal at the time of slaughter. Islamic law requires that an animal be slaughtered by cutting the jugular veins and carotid arteries to ensure that the blood is fully drained, as blood is considered "Najis" (ritually impure) and carries potential health risks. This requirement is a key part of the Dhabihah (Islamic slaughter) process, ensuring that the meat is pure and healthy for human consumption according to divine decree.
