The default ruling regarding the slaughter of Muslims and the People of the Book is that it is lawful

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
What do you say about the slaughter of a Muslim butcher?
May Allah keep you safe. As for the Muslim butcher, the default ruling is that his slaughter is lawful, and that he mentions the name of Allah. The evidence for this is that al-Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): (That a group of people came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah, a group of people bring us meat, and we do not know whether they mentioned the name of Allah over it or not?So he said: You mention the name of Allah and eat it,She said: and they were recent converts from disbelief) You know that those who are recent converts from disbelief do not know anything of the rulings of Islam except a little. So if the one who slaughters is a Muslim, a Jew, or a Christian, the default ruling is that his slaughter is lawful,And we do not say: perhaps he does not mention the name of Allah, or perhaps he does not pray, or something similar to that.
