Muwatta Malik #1095
Slaughtering Animals
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Abu
Murra, the mawla of Aqil ibn Abi Talib asked Abu Hurayra about a sheep
which was slaughtered and then part of it moved. He ordered him to eat
it. Then he asked Zayd ibn Thabit about it, and he said, "Does a
corpse move?" and he forbade eating its meat.
Malik was asked
about a sheep which fell down and injured itself badly and then its
master reached it and slaughtered it. Blood flowed from it but it did
not move. Malik said, "If he kills it and blood flows from it and its
eyes blink, he should eat it."
