CARRION - the carcass of a dead animal. Carrion begins to decay the moment of the animal's death, and it will increasingly attract insects and breed bacteria. Islamically the concept of, carrion — or more specifically al-maita (الميتة) — extends to animals which have been killed by means other than exsanguination during slaughter or the hunt.
Islamic Prohibition against CARRION:
The Quran forbids the consumption of dead animals or "carrion" (الميتة) — of animals which have been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a fall, or which have been gored to death.
Islamic law commands that all halal animals meant for food, with the exception of locusts, fish and sea creatures, be slaughtered by cutting the jugular vein in the animal's neck to allow death by exsanguination. This is known as zabihah. Game animals which have been killed in the hunt, by bleeding out, are likewise permissible.
