The reader: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon His servant and messenger, our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
The Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said in his book al-Iqtida' "And in al-Mudawwanah, Malik disliked eating what the People of the Book slaughtered for their churches or for their festivals without a prohibition, and he interpreted the saying of Allah the Exalted[Al-An'am 6:145] Ibn al-Qasim said: And likewise what they slaughtered and invoked the name of the Messiah upon, which is in the same position as what they slaughtered for their churches, and I do not think it should be eaten. And the dispensation regarding the slaughter of festivals and the like was transmitted from a group of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), and this is in the case where they did not invoke other than Allah. If they invoked other than Allah in their festival, or other than their festival, it is forbidden in the most famous of the two narrations, and this is the position of the majority, and it is the position of the three jurists as transmitted by more than one person, and it is the saying of 'Ali ibn Abi Talib, and others of the Companions, among them Abu al-Darda', Abu Umamah, al-'Arba' ibn Sariyah, and 'Ubadah ibn al-Samit, and it is the saying of most of the jurists of Sham and others
And the second narration: It is not forbidden, even if they invoked other than Allah, and this is the saying of 'Ata, Mujahid, Makحول, al-Awza'i, and al-Layth. Ibn Mansur transmitted"
The Shaykh : The correct view is that it is forbidden without doubt if they mention the name of other than Allah on the slaughtered animal, for it is forbidden due to the saying of Allah the Exalted[Al-Ma'idah 5:3] And this is general, so just as the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) Sahih al-Bukhari 2507 is general regarding what the Muslims and the People of the Book slaughter, so this is the case. The correct view is the generality, and that whatever is mentioned with the name of other than Allah at the time of slaughter is forbidden and not to be eaten. Yes.
The reader: "Ibn Mansur transmitted: It was said to Abu 'Abdullah: Sufyan was asked about a man who slaughtered and did not mention the name of Allah intentionally. He said: I think it should not be eaten. It was said to him: What do you think if he thought it sufficed for him and did not mention it? He said: I think it should not be eaten. Ahmad said: The Muslim in it is the name of Allah, it is eaten. But he has done wrong in leaving the invocation. The Christians: do they not mention other than the name of Allah?
The point of difference is that this falls under the generality of His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Ma'idah 5:5] and under the generality of His saying: [Al-Ma'idah 5:3] because this verse encompasses everything spoken in the name of other than Allah. It is said: I dedicated to such-and-such, when one speaks with it, even though its origin is elevated speech, and even though its origin is elevated speech, the ruling does not differ by raising or lowering the voice, and only because their custom was to raise the voice in the origin, the speech came out in that form, so the meaning is: and what was spoken in the name of other than Allah and what was pronounced in the name of other than Allah. And it is known that what is forbidden is to make other than Allah named, so likewise intended, for this is like intentions in acts of worship, for the expression of them, even if it is more eloquent, but the origin is the intention. Do you not see that the one who draws near with gifts and sacrifices, whether he said: I slaughter it for Allah, or he was silent, the criterion is the intention? And naming Allah on the slaughtered animal is not slaughtering it for Allah, for it is named on what is intended for the meat
As for the offering, it is slaughtered for Allah, the Exalted. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in his offering: after he said: Sunan Abi Dawud 2810Sahih (Al-Albani) following His saying, the Exalted: [Al-An'am 6:162] And the disbelievers do the same with their idols, sometimes they name their idols on the slaughtered animals, sometimes they slaughter them as an offering to them, and sometimes they combine both, and all of that, and Allah knows best, falls under what was slaughtered in the name of other than Allah, for whoever names other than Allah has dedicated it to other than Allah, so his saying: 'In the name of such-and-such' is seeking help from it, and his saying: 'For such-and-such' is worship of it; for this reason, Allah combined them in His saying: [Al-Fatihah 1:5] And also, He, the Exalted, forbade what was slaughtered on the standing stones, which is every"
The Shaykh : Everything that was slaughtered
The reader: "And also, He, the Exalted, forbade what"
The Shaykh : Everything that was slaughtered
The reader: We add it
The Shaykh : Yes, do you have it all, Samih?
The student: ... I forgot the book
The Shaykh : Ah?
The student: I forgot the book
The Shaykh : Yes
The reader: And in the marginal note, it says regarding the letter Ta of "everything that was slaughtered"
The Shaykh : Fine, we have "everything that was slaughtered," yes
The reader: "And also, He, the Exalted, forbade everything that was slaughtered on the standing stones, which is everything erected to be worshipped other than Allah, the Exalted
As for Ahmad's argument in this issue with His saying, the Exalted:[Al-An'am 6:121] where the invocation is made a condition in the slaughter of the Muslim; is it a condition in the slaughter of the People of the Book? According to two narrations, and although al-Khallal here mentioned the non-conditionality" ..

or it be [that slaughtered in] disobedience, dedicated to other than Allah

and that which has been dedicated to other than Allah
وما أهل لغير الله بهwhat would make blood flow (slaughter) and you can eat what is slaughtered and the Name of Allah is mentioned at the time of slaughtering
ما أنهر الدم وذكر اسم الله عليه فكلواThe reader: "Ibn Mansur transmitted: It was said to Abu 'Abdullah: Sufyan was asked about a man who slaughtered and did not mention the name of Allah intentionally.
