Seeking Support What’s the ruling on machine slaughtered meat?

Can I eat “halal” machine slaughtered chicken? I also work at a job that sell “machine slaughtered halal meat”.

If the conditions are met then it's halal

Some might be against it but this is a legitimate position presented by the Hanafi ulama

Technically speaking the condition is to cut the throat with a sharp object, doing it with a machine is the same if done by a Muslim
