Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the ruling on the slaughter of a disbeliever who is not from the People of the Book, if he invokes the name of Allah over it?

Answer:
It is forbidden and carrion, even if he invokes the name of Allah over it. The slaughter of a non-Book disbeliever is forbidden by the consensus of the scholars, even if he invokes the name of Allah over it, because he is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah) and a disbeliever, and his slaughter is ritually impure, just as he himself is ritually impure.
