The ruling on forgetting to mention the name of Allah during slaughter
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says in his second question: If a Muslim forgets to mention the name of Allah during slaughter, is his slaughtered animal forbidden, such that it is not permissible to eat it?
Answer:
If a Muslim forgets to mention the name of Allah during slaughter, or during the ablution, then the slaughter is valid and the ablution is valid, praise be to Allah. Or if he forgets it regarding the sacrificial animal—regarding the fidyah, the expiation for Hajj—there is no blame in any of that. The slaughtered animal is valid and lawful, whether it is a sacrifice, a gift, an 'aqiqah, or otherwise. Allah says: [al-Baqarah: 286] The one who forgets is excused, and the slaughtered animal is lawful, whether it is a sacrifice, a gift, an 'aqiqah, or otherwise. Yes.
Likewise, the ignorant person who does not know the rulings of the Shari'ah; if the ignorant person does not mention the name of Allah over his slaughtered animal due to ignorance, that is acceptable. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
