Is The Aggression During Slaughtering An Animal In Line With Fitrah?
I understand all of this, but my question is not about the principles of justice or mercy from the perspective of the universe; it is about them from the moral and religious perspective of human beings—moral and rational beings. Firstly, the only connotation I use for the word Fitrah is a moral one. By “moral,” I mean an innate urge to do good over evil— this is the perspective from which I am approaching my question, as religion is fundamentally based on this moral Fitrah. Secondly, aggression is also part of Fitrah, but it falls under the category of emotion or feeling, not the moral aspect. Aggression itself does not necessarily mean evil. Whether an act is morally wrong is determined by our moral sense. For example, killing a killer is not morally wrong, but killing an innocent person is . Thirdly, the example of predators preying on others does not fit this question, because in the context of morality, animals are not moral beings. Their actions are biological rather than moral. To make my question clear: I understand and agree with the biological perspective, but besides biology, humans have moral senses. So, when we feel aggression while slaughtering an animal: 1. Does our moral sense at the time of slaughter confirm or reject this aggression? (Here, I am not referring specifically to mercy, but to the sense of right and wrong—since mercy itself does not determine moral rightness or wrongness.) 2. If our moral sense confirms it, on what basis does it confirm it—biological necessity? This is because our emotions doesn’t seem to align with it. How can we know whether the act we are doing is morally right or not, and on what basis? Part of our Fitrah (biological) acknowledges it, while part of our Fitrah (emotions—mercy) disapproves of it. 3. If our moral sense does not confirm it, does this mean we perform the act solely because God has allowed it, even if it goes against our moral sense?
