  "en": "Nahr, in the lexicon, is to stab a camel in its throat-hollow, where the windpipe shows above the chest. Most jurists hold that a camel is to be slaughtered by nahr and other animals by dhabh, on the example of the Prophet who slaughtered camels by nahr and two rams by dhabh. If one slaughters what is to be nahr or nahrs what is to be slaughtered, most jurists hold the animal lawful, while the Malikis allow it only in necessity. The days of nahr are three by the majority (the day and the two after), and four by the Shafi'is, citing the hadith that all days of tashriq are days of slaughter. The best practice is to stand the camel with its left foreleg tied; the Malikis have the slaughterer face the qibla, stand by the right side, hold the upper lip and stab the throat-hollow saying the name of God. {cite:fiqh-mawsua-kuwaitiyya-noor-v3 p.15542} {cite:fiqh-mawsua-kuwaitiyya-noor-v3 p.15543} {cite:fiqh-mawsua-kuwaitiyya-noor-v3 p.15544} {cite:fiqh-mawsua-kuwaitiyya-noor-v3 p.15545}",
