<![CDATA[Qurban animal slaughter requires not only compliance with Islamic jurisprudential provisions but also technical competence encompassing food safety, animal health, product integrity, halal assurance, animal welfare, and post-slaughter handling. This community service program aimed to improve the knowledge and practical skills of students and administrators of Pesantren Darullughah Wadda'wah Pasuruan in conducting halal slaughter in accordance with Islamic jurisprudence and the Safe, Healthy, Wholesome, and Halal (ASUH) standards. The two-day program involved 35 participants, consisting of 25 male students and 10 pesantren administrators. The program comprised needs identification, lectures and interactive discussions, demonstrations, hands-on practice, and evaluation through pre-test, post-test, and practical skills observation. The evaluation results showed that the participants' mean knowledge score increased from 42.3 in the pre-test to 82.7 in the post-test, representing a gain of 40.4 points. In the practical skills assessment, 28 participants (80%) achieved a good category, six participants (17.1%) were classified as adequate, and one participant (2.9%) was classified as poor. Improvements were observed across all evaluated aspects, particularly in understanding halal slaughter requirements and ASUH standards. The program indicates that the integration of theoretical instruction, demonstration, and hands-on practice can strengthen both Islamic jurisprudential understanding and technical skills related to animal handling, slaughtering procedures, hygiene, and post-slaughter management. The activity also highlights the potential of pesantren as a strategic base for strengthening halal slaughter literacy and skills, which can be further developed through advanced training and facilitation of formal halal slaughterer certification.]]>
