Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. He asks: Is it permissible for a Jew or a Christian to slaughter the 'Id sacrifice?
Answer:
It is permissible, because Allah has made lawful for us the slaughter of the People of the Book. One of the qualifications for the slaughterer is that he be a member of the People of the Book. So if you appoint him and he slaughters it for you, there is nothing wrong with it. However, it is better that you slaughter it with your own hand or appoint a Muslim.
