Why do people eat halal?

Answer 1

first it is not only Muslims who eats halal also other faith do, such as Jewish and actually Jewish not only do not eat meat from people not prepared based on their fate but also milk, butter, cheese etc as well. As for Muslim's, certain preparations should be in place before the slaughter of an animal take place to make his meat halal, such as: 1. the animal should be offered food or at least water before slaughter. 2. the animal should not be slaughtered next to another animal. example goat next to goat and it is forbidden to slaughter a mother or father next to their children and vise verse. 3. A pregnant animal should not be slaughtered neither a breath feeding one 4. It is better if the animal is pointed toward Mecca before slaughter. 5. On slaughter the words (sobhana man halalak lilzabeh...Allah Akhbar) meaning praise to Allah who made it halal (allowed) to slaughter you Allah is Great. if this is not said the meat is forbidden. 6. the instrument used to slaughter the animal should be very sharp and the animal should not suffer, furthermore some even forbid the meat if the animal suffer or if the knife used did not slaughter the animal in the first go. and the cut should be from the neck under the tracheal and when the cut is done the neck should remain attached to the body. 7. it is forbidden to eat a meat of a dead animal, (natural cause dead, accident etc) only a living animal can be eaten after slaughter. those are some of the reasons why the meat has to be halal and why do Muslim's only eat halal food, the above answer is to the best of my very little knowledge, accept my apology if their was mistake.
