Halal food in Luxembourg
For the growing Muslim community in Luxembourg, finding Halal food is essential. The demand for Halal food in Luxembourg has been steadily increasing, reflecting the diverse needs of its population. However, it is not always easy to find Halal options. Don't stress if you're unsure where to look, this comprehensive article provides all the information you need about butchers and restaurants offering Halal food in Luxembourg.
In Luxembourg, there is no Halal slaughter as ritual slaughter is prohibited; however, Halal meat is available as it is imported from France or Belgium. This prohibition is partly due to the Luxembourg authorities' desire to ensure the protection of animal rights at the time of slaughter. Halal meat comes from animals that have been sacrificed without prior stunning, a practice that animal rights associations argue generally causes greater suffering to the animal.

What is Zabihah?
Halal meat and animal welfare
Proponents of Zabihah assert that when performed correctly, the process is quick and causes less suffering than conventional methods of slaughter. However, animal welfare organizations often criticize the Zabihah process, arguing that it can cause more suffering to the animals because they are not stunned before death. These organizations claim that pre-slaughter stunning, common in many modern slaughter methods, minimizes the pain and stress of the animal before being killed.
The main criticism is that without pre-slaughter stunning, the animal remains conscious during the cut and until it loses enough blood to lose consciousness, which can result in greater suffering. Moreover, they argue that the traditional Zabihah method, while quick, does not guarantee instant loss of consciousness, potentially prolonging the suffering.
