The Mention of Allah in Ablution and Slaughter, and the Ruling on Forgetting It

The questioner:
As for the authenticity of the hadith, any command in this matter for which no evidence is cited is greater.

The Shaykh:
It does not reach the level of authenticity. The hadith regarding every matter of importance does not reach the level of authenticity, but some compilers cite it as evidence for the recommendation of mentioning the name of Allah. In one narration, it is "with praise to Allah" for every matter of importance, not beginning with praise to Allah. They said that the priority is relative, so one begins with "In the name of Allah" and then begins with "Praise to Allah" after that. And what indicates beginning with "In the name of Allah" is the Qur'an, the book of Sulayman: "Indeed, it is from Sulayman, and indeed, it is in the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful." Likewise, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) used to begin with it in his correspondence. If he wanted to write to someone, he would begin with "In the name of Allah, the Entirely Merciful, the Especially Merciful, from Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah." In all matters that have significance and value, as for "Praise to Allah," just as Allah began with it in His Noble Book, the first of the mushaf: "Praise to Allah, Lord of the worlds."

The questioner:
The children of al-Sharif. Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding the mention of the name: it does not come with everything.

The Shaykh:
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he would give a sermon or wanted to draw attention to something, would begin with praise of Allah and glorification of Him. The first thing is to begin with praise of Allah and glorification of Him, and the two testimonies. This is the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Yes.

The questioner:
I found something. May Allah reward you. Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding the mention of the name.

The Shaykh:
From the generality of the collection of hadiths, as you heard, the collection of hadiths, their abundance indicates that it has a basis from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

The questioner:
And we say, and we say that.

The Shaykh:
Because some scholars say that it reached the level of hasan (good). Some say that it is established that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, as reported by Ibn Abi Shaybah, the collection of chains supports each other.

The questioner:
And ride to what is most like the slaughtered animal.

The Shaykh:
(Peace and blessings be upon him). Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) did not rely on this hadith alone, but rather relied on the collection that came in this chapter.

The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, so the ruling is to the same confirmed in the alternative in the mention of the name, and from the ruling also to the same correct in the Muslims.

The Shaykh:
If one forgets the mention of the name on the slaughtered animal, there is no blame on him, and the slaughtered animal is lawful. Allah the Exalted said: . But if one forgets it on the game, this is a matter of disagreement. The madhhab (school of jurisprudence) is that the game is not lawful if the mention of the name is left, whether out of forgetfulness or intentionally, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), because Allah the Exalted says: . Because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you send your trained dog and mention the name of Allah upon it, then eat." They said, and because the game differs from the slaughter. The game differs from the slaughter because one is not in control of the game. It may hit it, it may not hit it, unlike the slaughter. The one being slaughtered is in control of it, before him.
Therefore, the ruling on the mention of the name in the game differs from its ruling in the slaughter. And although Shaykh Taqi al-Din prefers that the mention of the name is obligatory in the case of remembrance and in the case of forgetfulness, even in the slaughter, even in the slaughter, excluding from the generality of His saying, the Exalted: , this is general. He says. General in what you left the mention of the name upon intentionally, and what you left the mention of the name upon by mistake, and general in the game and in the slaughtered animals. This is what the Shaykh chooses in this, but the madhhab is the distinction.

The questioner:
And the Shaykh said, the Messenger of Allah, with the hadith of the poor person.

The Shaykh:
The default. The default is that they mention the name of Allah, this is the default. We build upon the default unless we hear them mention the name of the Messiah. If we hear them mention the name of other than Allah, it is not lawful. And by Allah, the Exalted and Majestic is He, when He mentioned the prohibitions, He said: . If we hear them mention the name of the Messiah or the name of any of their deities, it is forbidden to us, just as if we heard a Muslim, for example, one of the Muslims mention the name of the wali (close friend of Allah) or mention the name of the owner of the grave on the slaughtered animal, it is not lawful, even if his origin is Muslim, even if his origin is Muslim and he claims to be a Muslim. If we hear or verify it, the slaughtered animal is not lawful. But if we did not hear and did not verify, we build upon the default, and by the generality of His saying, the Exalted: , this is general. Yes.

The questioner:
Our people, is there something in you?

The Shaykh:
And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he was asked about the meats that people bring who recently embraced Islam, and it is not known whether they mentioned the name of Allah upon them or not? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) issued a ruling to eat them and said: "Mention the name of Allah, and eat." Because the default in the Muslim and the default in the Book is that he mentions the name of Allah, unless it is established that this default is contrary. Yes.
