The ruling on the slaughter of one who mentions a name other than Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, how is the slaughter of a Christian who slaughters in the name of Jesus permissible, while the slaughter of one who visits graves and mentions the name of Allah over his slaughter is not permissible?

Answer:
Even in the case of a Christian, if you hear him mentioning the name of Jesus, do not eat it, do not eat it. Because this person is a mushrik (one who associates partners with Allah), and a mushrik, whether from among the Christians or from among the Muslims, his slaughter is not permissible. Yes, if you hear him, yes. He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, I performed the farewell tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka'bah), and due to the crowd, I performed it. If you did not know and did not hear him, his slaughter is permissible by default. Allah the Exalted and Majestic said:
and the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for youوَطَعَامُ الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتَابَ حِلٌّ لَّكُمْ
[Al-Ma'idah 5:5]
But if you hear him associating partners with Allah, do not eat his slaughter. Yes.
