What is the ruling on eating from a slaughtered animal over which the name of Allah is not invoked?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The chicken that is slaughtered here?
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : What exactly is the situation? Is it permissible, for example, to eat from it, or is it not permissible?
The Shaykh : The question is ambiguous. You are saying the chicken slaughtered here in the country.
The questioner : In the slaughterhouses.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : So how is it slaughtered? Is it slaughtered or not?
The questioner : It is slaughtered.
The Shaykh : If it is slaughtered, what is the point of the question?
The questioner : Here, we have a brother who went to one of the slaughterhouses and found that in the slaughterhouse they do not invoke the name of Allah. This is, of course, in one slaughterhouse, but the country has several slaughterhouses.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : But the man went to one of the slaughterhouses and found that they do not invoke the name of Allah over all the chickens. They invoke it, as if, over the first chicken, and then that is it, and they start slaughtering normally without the invocation. So, of course, I am asking from this perspective?
The Shaykh : So if you doubt whether the name of Allah was invoked over a slaughtered animal, invoke the name of Allah yourself and eat.
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh : But if you doubt whether it was slaughtered or killed, do not eat it.
The questioner : Yes, may Allah reward you, O Shaykh.
The Shaykh : And may Allah grant you the same, if Allah wills.
The Shaykh: Yes.
The questioner : What exactly is the situation? Is it permissible, for example, to eat from it, or is it not permissible?
