The Shaykh : You heard the question: If a non-Muslim and non-People of the Book person assists a polytheist in slaughtering, is the slaughtered animal permissible? We say that if the assistance is in the act of slaughtering itself, then it is not permissible, because in this case, a factor permitting and a factor prohibiting are combined. That is, both held the knife and slaughtered it. In this case, the slaughtered animal is not permissible. However, if one hands the knife to a person whose slaughter is not permissible, and the person whose slaughter is permissible slaughters it, then it is permissible. Likewise, if one slaughters and cuts the throat to let the blood flow, and then the person whose slaughter is not permissible completes the slaughter, it is permissible.

The Shaykh : This is a matter of hunting. Hunting has a prohibition, so assistance in it is not permissible. As for this, its slaughter is permissible. Do you understand?
