Immersing a slaughtered chicken in boiling water to remove its feathers
Question
What is the rule for immersing a slaughtered chicken in hot (or boiling) water to remove its feathers?
Answer
When it is immersed in hot water for such a period that the filth within its stomach permeates its flesh then such a chicken will be haraam to eat.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
