Question:
I ask Allah for you, Your Eminence, father. This questioner asks: What is the ruling on the slaughter of the People of the Book who mention Christ over it? Is it permissible or forbidden?
Answer:
If the name of the Messiah is mentioned over it, it is not permissible, even if a Muslim slaughters it and says, "In the name of the Messiah" or "In the name of Muhammad," it does not suffice. And do not eat[Al-An'am 6:118] so it is necessary to mention the name of Allah. As for if the name of someone else is mentioned, it is not permissible, because this is worship of other than Allah. Yes.

So eat of that [meat] upon which the name of Allah has been mentioned, if you are believers in His verses.
فَكُلُوا مِمَّا ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ إِن كُنتُم بِآيَاتِهِ مُؤْمِنِينَ
