Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, if I slaughter an animal but forget to mention the name of Allah over it, is it permissible for me to eat it?
Answer:
Yes, if you leave off the mention of the name out of forgetfulness, you may eat the slaughtered animal, because Allah has overlooked for this community errors and forgetfulness.[Al-Baqarah 2:286] If you forget it, you are intending it in your heart, but you forgot it at the time of slaughter; you are not held accountable, and the animal is lawful. However, if you leave it off intentionally, then that is the one whose slaughter is not lawful. [Al-An'am 6:121] Yes.

Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.
رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَاAnd do not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has not been mentioned
وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ
