Summary
The 70th Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee on 29 September 2005 ruled that thoracic sticking, an additional procedure performed after slaughter, is permissible and the meat is halal subject to certain conditions. The slaughter must be complete, severing all four vessels, namely the mari', the halqum and both wadajain, and the procedure may only be done after complete bleeding or 30 seconds after slaughter. The animal must be confirmed to have died from the slaughter, with thoracic sticking serving only to hasten death. The procedure must also be supervised by a certified Muslim officer.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
