Makrooh acts

2609. In certain Traditions, the following have been enumerated as Makrooh acts while slaughtering the animals:

1. To slaughter an animal at a place where another animal of its own kind can see it.
2. To skin an animal before it has died.
3. To slaughter an animal on Friday night (i.e. the night preceding Friday), or on Friday before Zuhr. However, there is no harm in doing so in the case of necessity.
4. To slaughter an animal which someone has bred and reared himself.
