Question

Is it okay for someone of the Hanafi fiqh to eat machine cut chicken? I have heard various different opinions and wanted to clarify.

Answer

If the machine cut chickens were slaughtered according to the Shar'ee procedure of slaughter, it will be Halaal. Refer to http://muftionline.co.za/node/4418

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