Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: If one forgets to mention the name of Allah when sending out a hunting animal, is it permissible to eat the prey?
Answer:
The school of thought says no, it is not permissible unless one intentionally or forgetfully omits the name of Allah; in that case, the prey is not lawful. However, the correct view is that it is permissible. Allah the Exalted said:[Al-Baqarah 2:286] And because the Muslim did not omit the name of Allah intentionally—it is in his mind and his intention, but he forgot it—this does not affect the ruling, because it is in his heart and his intention according to the Muslim. Yes.
