Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with both of them) says that slaughtering is cutting the throat and the jugular vein.

Hazrat Dawood bin Abi Asim narrates that a camel became unruly at a water place. People asked Hazrat Saeed bin Musayyib about this, so he replied that there is no place of slaughter except the place of slaughter of Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him).

Hazrat Ata says that there is no slaughter (nahr) except at the place of sacrifice (manhar) and the slaughterhouse (madhbah).

Hazrat Ibn Frafasa says that Hazrat Frafasa was with Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him). Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered his announcer to proclaim among the people that slaughtering at the jugular vein and throat is for the one who has the ability to do so. Leave the animal's body until the soul departs.

Hazrat Ibn Abi Najeeh narrates that a man slaughtered a goat from the nape side, so Hazrat Ata declared eating it as disliked (makrooh).
