Does naming Allah over meat that was slaughtered in a manner other than the Shari'ah make it halal?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, if I buy meat and I know that it was not slaughtered, for example, in accordance with the Islamic Shari'ah, should I mention the name of Allah over it?
The Shaykh:
No, if you know that it was not slaughtered or ritually slaughtered in the Shari'ah manner, it is haram. This is carrion. It is not sufficient for you to say that you mention the name of Allah over it. The naming is at the time of slaughter, when he moves his hand to slaughter the animal, he says Bismillah, and it must not be delayed, and it must not be done by someone other than the slaughterer either. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you with good. This questioner, Honorable Shaykh, has a set of questions.
The Shaykh:
When asked about meat that comes and it is not known whether the name of Allah was mentioned over it or not, he said: "Mention the name of Allah yourselves and eat." The meaning is the naming at the time of eating, because it is recommended (mustahabb) for a person to begin with Bismillah when he wants to eat. This does not suffice for the obligatory naming at the time of slaughter.
