Asalaam aleikum,
I recently found your website while arguing with a muslim fellow who is convinced and that the prophet Muhammad (pbuh) is a descendant of Ishmail (pbuh). My next question has nothing to do with what i mention above. I would like to know if we need to slaughter an animal facing the qibla direction?. Is the word Bud'na your using in your article covers chicken? If not do we have to pronounce the name of god before slaughtering or can we just remain silent?
I also wanted to let you know that I admire your work.
Thankin you in advance,
