The 'Udhiyah slaughtered by a non-Muslim

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: May Allah preserve you, a man came on the day of 'Id al-Adha with a man to slaughter the 'udhiyah for him, so he slaughtered eight 'udhiyah for him. After he finished slaughtering them, he learned that the slaughterer was a Hindu, a non-Muslim. What is the ruling regarding the 'udhiyah? Is it permissible to eat it or not?

Answer:
The slaughter of a disbeliever is like carrion; in fact, it is carrion. It is not lawful except for the People of the Book, the Jews and the Christians only. As for the rest of the disbelievers, their slaughter is carrion and it is not permissible to eat it. And these 'udhiyah do not suffice for their owner. Yes.
