Question:
In the slaughterhouses, they invoke the name of Allah over the first one and leave the rest?
Answer:
... If he intends all of them, it is sufficient.
Q: It is a person who slaughters by means of a machine; he invokes the name of Allah the first time, but does not invoke it over the rest?
The Shaykh: Do you mean he slaughters with his hand, or the machine that slaughters?
Q: The machine passes by and he slaughters with his hand? A rotating machine, and every time it passes, he slaughters with his hand.
The Shaykh: ... If he invokes the name of Allah over all of them, it is sufficient. If he invokes it over the first one with the intention of all of them, it is sufficient, if Allah wills; because their souls are taken quickly.
