Experienced butchers usually remove some of the parts of the animal that are forbidden to be consumed but even they are unaware of some other forbidden parts or they do not pay heed. Therefore, I am going to mention some of the forbidden parts of the animal that are usually cooked with food because of a lack of knowledge.
The blood that oozes out at the time of slaughter is called ‘Dam Masfūḥ.’ This blood is impure and is Ḥarām to be consumed. Though the blood that remains after slaughtering in some organs like the cut area of the neck, the inside of the heart, spleen, liver, small veins in the meat, is pure, but it is still forbidden to consume it. Therefore, one should thoroughly clean these organs before adding them to the food.
There are some very small blood-veins in the meat. It is extremely difficult to identify them. These small veins turn black when cooked. These veins usually appear in brains and in meat from the chicken leg and wing etc. If you see these black strands while eating, remove them. Do not cook the whole heart of a chicken. Cut it open first vertically in four pieces and clean the inside blood thoroughly.
The spinal cord is a white thread like strand which extends from the base of the brain through the length of the backbone
