The questioner : May the Shaykh be honored, we know that the mention of the name is a condition for the permissibility of the slaughtered animal. If the slaughterer did not mention the name, but only someone present at the slaughter did, is that sufficient?
The Shaykh : The mention of the name on the slaughtered animal is required of the slaughterer himself, not of anyone else. If he slaughters without mentioning the name, the slaughtered animal is forbidden, even if those around him mention the name, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Sahih al-Bukhari 7400 Thus, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made the mention of the name part of the slaughterer’s duty, not the duty of anyone else.
And every slaughtered animal on which the name of Allah is not mentioned is forbidden, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-An'am 6:121] and the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan Ibn Majah 3178Sahih (Darussalam) Thus, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made the mention of the name a condition, just as letting the blood flow is a condition.
And if the strangled animal is forbidden in the Book of Allah Mighty and Majestic, then what is not mentioned with the name of Allah is also forbidden. The verse we referred to earlier, which is the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-An'am 6:121] clearly indicates the prohibition of eating from what is not mentioned with the name of Allah.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : The mention of the name on the slaughtered animal is required of the slaughterer himself, not of anyone else. If he slaughters without mentioning the name, the slaughtered animal is forbidden, even if those around him mention the name, based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
and whoever has not yet slaughtered any, should slaughter a sacrifice and mention Allah's Name while doing so.
ومن لم يذبح فليذبح باسم اللهAnd every slaughtered animal on which the name of Allah is not mentioned is forbidden, based on the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And do not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has not been mentioned, for indeed, it is grave disobedience.
وَلا تَأْكُلُوا مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنَّهُ لَفِسْقٌ(Use) whatever causes the blood to flow, mention the Name of Allah and eat, but (do not use) teeth or nails
ما أنهر الدم وذكر اسم الله عليه فكل إلا السن والظفرAnd if the strangled animal is forbidden in the Book of Allah Mighty and Majestic, then what is not mentioned with the name of Allah is also forbidden. The verse we referred to earlier, which is the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And do not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has not been mentioned
وَلا تَأْكُلُوا مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِThe questioner : May Allah bless you.
