Slaughtering the Udhiyah Without Naming
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to slaughter the udhiyah without naming?
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
Without naming.
The Shaykh:
Without mentioning the name of Allah over it, or naming the person for whom it is being slaughtered? What is the intention? If he intends to do so without mentioning the name of Allah over it out of forgetfulness, there is no harm. If he does it deliberately, it is not permissible; this slaughtered animal is not lawful, so do not eat it[Al-An'am 6:121] if he did it deliberately. If he did it out of forgetfulness, there is no harm. Yes.
The questioner:
And what about the intention?
The Shaykh:
If he does not mention the name of the owner for whom it is being slaughtered, the intention suffices. Mentioning the name of the owner is a recommended practice (mustahabb) if he remembers it, and if he forgets it, there is no blame on him. It is based on the intention, on your intention. Yes.
