Is The Aggression During Slaughtering An Animal In Line With Fitrah?
The words are used with different connotations. The word Fitrah is sometimes used to tell what is right. But this is not the only connotation of it. We also define Fitrah that includes both evil and good, and the urge to prefer good over evil is also in Fitrah, and deviation from good is also in Fitrah. To show aggression is in Fitrah, too. Slaughtering animals is against mercy, but God has allowed it in His Shariah, as He allowed it in nature, where predators hunt other animals. The principle of life on the earth is not based on justice or mercy, but on the principle of test and trial. Everyone suffers one way or another. They will be rewarded for their suffering, including animals.
