Shar'i Zabiha Cetification

What is Shar’i Zabiha Certification?

Shar’i Halal Zabiha Certification is a process of evaluation and confirmation through investigation and inspection, that a Halal animal or bird has met the Shar’ee requirements of slaughter of Shar’i Zabiha.

The certification is a statement that the Zabiha process is being independently monitored by the staff or a representative of The Rahmat-e-Alam Foundation’s Halal Zabiha Committee.

The Certificate of Halal Zabiha confirms that the cattle and/or poultry meet the strictest standards of Shar’i Zabiha.

In the application you will describe your company and its operations. The more we know about you, the more effectively and speedily we can process your application. After preliminarily reviewing the application, the Halal Zabiha Committee will require an initial inspection of the premises. The applicant shall make available their premises for inspection at a time convenient to both the Halal Zabiha Committee and applicant. Applicant shall provide the Halal Zabiha Committee with all further information that is required, either prior to or subsequent to the inspection including but not limited to, a list of all ingredients used in the production, names and sources of all supplies, a description of the manner of production etc.

Initial Inspection and Evaluation

Subsequent to a satisfactory review of the application, the facility will need to be reviewed by a senior field representative. The report will then be reviewed by the Halal Zabiha Committee. Upon their approval an agreement shall be written.
