The questioner : And he says when slaughtering, "In the name of Allah, and Allah is the Greatest," based on the hadith of Anas. And if he says, "O Allah, this is from You and for You," that is fine.
The Shaykh : I heard a layman delivering a sermon, and he said, "Say 'In the name of Allah' as an obligation, and 'Allah is the Greatest' as a recommendation." So when he laid down his sacrificial animal, he said, "In the name of Allah as an obligation, and Allah is the Greatest as a recommendation." This is the result of extreme brevity. I mean, if the preacher had said, "Say 'In the name of Allah' and 'Allah is the Greatest'; as for 'In the name of Allah,' it is obligatory, and as for 'Allah is the Greatest,' it is a recommended practice," it would have been clearer. Because the layman does not know that this is a description of the ruling. So I pointed this out to him, fearing that one of you might deliver a sermon like this and make a mistake.
