Opening a meat distribution centre

· 2 Safar 1437 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I intend opening a meat shop and distribution centre in a town some two hours from Cape Town insha Allah. My supplier is strictly halaal. As I will not slaughter any animals myself and will only pass on/sell to the public, do I need a halal certificate displayed in my meat shop or is a notice of the above procedure displayed in my shop adequate?

Answer

This notice is sufficient.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
