The ruling on the slaughter of an animal dedicated to other than Allah, whether by a People of the Book or a Muslim.

The Shaykh : What the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) said is that the utmost regarding what a Person of the Book slaughters is that it be like what a Muslim slaughters. This is correct, because if we said it is permissible to eat what a Person of the Book slaughters when he dedicates it to other than Allah, his slaughter would be higher—what do you mean, higher—than the slaughter of a Muslim. And if we said it is permissible to eat what he slaughters if he does not drain the blood, his slaughter would be higher than the slaughter of a Muslim. Yes.
