Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some scholars mention that if one forgets to mention the name of Allah over the slaughtered animal, he is not sinful for the forgetfulness, but it is not permissible for him to eat it, based on His saying:[Al-An'am 6:121] What is the stronger position in this matter?
Answer:
The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said that the mistake and forgetfulness are excused for my Ummah. So, if one leaves off the mention of the name over the slaughtered animal out of forgetfulness, his slaughter is lawful for him and for others, because Allah has excused forgetfulness, and he did not leave it off intentionally.
