What does cloven mean?

"Cloven" refers to the division or splitting of the hoofs of certain animals into two distinct parts. In the context of halal meat, it means that the hoof of the animal is divided into two separate and distinct parts. Animals with cloven hoofs have clear separation between the individual parts of the hoof, allowing for a visible split.

Examples of animals with cloven hoofs that are considered halal for consumption in Islam include cows, sheep, goats, and deer. These animals have hoofs that are divided into two parts, with a clear separation between them.

On the other hand, animals like pigs, horses, and dogs do not have cloven hoofs. Instead, they have single or undivided hoofs. Therefore, their meat is considered haram (forbidden) for Muslims. It's important for Muslims to be aware of this distinction when selecting and consuming meat to ensure that it complies with Islamic dietary guidelines.
