Question:
What should I say when slaughtering the animal?
Answer:
When slaughtering the animal, you say: "In the name of Allah, and Allah is the Greatest," then you slaughter. "In the name of Allah, and Allah is the Greatest." This is how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do it. You place your foot on the side of the neck, then hold its head, and it is better to slaughter with your right hand. This is the Sunnah. If it is an 'Id sacrifice, you say: "For so-and-so," or "For me and my family." If it is an 'aqiqah, you say: "For my son so-and-so," or "For my daughter so-and-so." If it is a gift, meaning for Hajj and 'Umrah, you say: "In the name of Allah, and Allah is the Greatest," and you intend tamattu', intending the hady, the hady of tamattu' or qiran, according to what is in your heart. If it is for a vow, you intend with the vow that it is for the vow you made. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. Is there no harm in verbalizing the intention at that time?
The Shaykh: ... He says: "For so-and-so," or "For so-and-so," or "For my son so-and-so" ... the 'aqiqah. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good. So, is this an exception to verbalizing the intention?
The Shaykh: Yes, yes. This came... The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do it and would say:Sahih Muslim 1967.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
