The Ruling on the Slaughter of the People of the Book in Which the Name of Allah Was Not Mentioned (Questions)

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding the slaughter of the People of the Book in which they did not mention the Name of Allah, what is the stronger position?

Answer:
If they did not mention the Name of Allah on it out of ignorance, thinking they forgot, like a Muslim, and if they did it intentionally, it is what it deserves. But if a person leaves off the mention of the Name at the time of slaughter out of ignorance of the legal ruling or forgetfulness, he is excused for it
Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا
[Al-Baqarah 2:286]
As for if he does it intentionally and knows the legal ruling, meaning he is required to mention the Name, leaving it off makes the slaughter forbidden in the most correct of the opinions, because he mentions the Name of Allah on it, and Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: “Eat of that on which
upon which the name of Allah has been mentionedذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ
[Al-An'am 6:118]
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Mention the Name of Allah when you send your dog, when you send your arrow, mention the Name of Allah.” All of this is on the axis of the mention and the knowledge, as for the ignorant one or the forgetful one, he does it
Our Lord, do not impose blame upon usرَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا
[Al-Baqarah 2:286]
except that we said, Allah said: “And I have done it”
