Forgetting the Name of Allah over the Sacrifice and the Disagreement Among Scholars

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
And before the testimony, or the settling of the matter, may Allah have mercy on him, regarding the issue of settling the matter in zakah, and that it does not please me, and that you forgot, and you say that this is a valid blessing in this issue.

The Shaykh:
Each has his own opinion. We say each has his own opinion. The Shaykh adopted the generality of the texts, while the school of thought adopted the specification of the verse by the saying of Allah the Exalted:
Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِن نَّسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَا
[Al-Baqarah 2:286]
, and in His saying: "And there is no blame on you for what you have erred in, but what your hearts intended." They hold that these texts specify that one, while the Shaykh does not see the specification; he holds that the action is based on the obligation and the apparent meaning of the verse.
Each has his own position, each has his own position. But the person, as we mentioned, always taking the precaution, always taking the precaution, is the one who is safer for his conscience and further from doubts. This is what clears the conscience: that the person takes the conditions into account. But if we suppose that a Muslim slaughtered a sacrifice and forgot to mention the Name of Allah over it, we do not say that it became forbidden and that it should be thrown to the dogs and that it became forbidden. This is difficult, yes, because he is excused by forgetfulness, yes.
