The Ruling on the Slaughter of the Christians
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, the People of the Book do not mention the name of Allah over their slaughtered animals. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:[Al-An'am 6:121] This is what Allah says: [Al-An'am 6:121] And how do you know that the Christians do not mention the name of Allah? What makes you know this? Allah has made this lawful for us.
Answer:
The slaughtered animals of the People of the Book indicate that they mention the name of Allah over them. But if they slaughter in the name of Christ, is this not permissible? It is not permissible if they slaughter in the name of Christ, because this is shirk (associating partners with Allah), and it is what is dedicated to other than Allah.
