“I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, should slaughtering only be done in the throat or upper chest?’ He said: ‘If you stab it in the thigh that will suffice you.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3184)
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَمَا يَكُونُ الذَّكَاةُ إِلَّا مِنَ الْحَلْقِ أَوِ اللَّبَّةِ؟ قَالَ «لَوْ طَعَنْتَ فِي فَخِذِهَا لَأَجْزَأَتْ عَنْكَ»
