Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says that in some religious books it is written that it is prescribed to say the Basmalah at the time of slaughter, so what is the correctness of this statement?
Answer:
Yes, it is prescribed to say the Basmalah at the time of slaughter, but some scholars hold that it is obligatory and that it is one of the conditions for the validity of the slaughter, while other scholars hold that it is recommended. The word "prescribed" encompasses both the obligatory and the recommended.
