In Islamic law, dhabihah (; ), also spelled zabiha, is the prescribed method of slaughter for halal animals (excluding sea animals, which are exempt from this requirement). It consists of a swift, deep incision to the throat with a very sharp knife, cutting the wind pipe, jugular veins and carotid arteries on both sides but leaving the spinal cord intact. The butcher is also required to call upon the name of Allah individually for each animal.
