Yes, consuming chicken blood is considered Haram (forbidden) in Islam.
Islamic Dietary Laws and Blood Consumption
The Quran explicitly prohibits the consumption of blood. This prohibition is clearly stated in Surah Al-Ma'ida (5:3): "Forbidden to you (for food) are dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah". This verse directly addresses the consumption of blood from any source, including chicken. Therefore, regardless of the animal source, eating blood is not permissible according to Islamic dietary laws.
Many Islamic scholars interpret this verse as a complete prohibition against consuming blood in any form, whether it's from an animal slaughtered according to Islamic guidelines (Zabiha) or not. The reasoning behind this prohibition is multifaceted, often relating to hygiene, health, and spiritual purity.
Key Takeaways:
- Clear Prohibition: The Quran explicitly forbids the consumption of blood.
- Universally Applicable: This prohibition applies to all types of blood, including chicken blood.
- No Exceptions: There are no exceptions based on how the animal was slaughtered.
