The questioner : Yes, it is permissible for a Muslim to slaughter an animal while in a state of major ritual impurity, because one in a state of major ritual impurity is not prevented from the remembrance of Allah. Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said, “The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to remember Allah in all his states.” So he should say the name of Allah and slaughter.
