Question:
In His saying, Blessed and Exalted is He:[Al-An'am 6:121] the verse [al-An'am: 121], is the intended meaning of the mention at the time of slaughter or at the time of eating?
Answer:
The intended meaning is at the time of slaughter. If one slaughters and does not mention the name of Allah, or hunts and does not mention the name of Allah, his slaughter is not lawful and it is not eaten, whether he is a Muslim or a People of the Book. However, if it was out of forgetfulness or he left it off out of ignorance, then it is lawful. But if he did it intentionally while knowing the ruling of the Shari'ah, then his slaughter is not lawful; because of the noble verse: [al-An'am: 118], and what came in the authentic hadiths in his saying (peace and blessings be upon him): , Sunan an-Nasa'i 4263Sahih (Darussalam) along with the generality of the verse: [Al-An'am 6:121].
So the intended meaning is if he left it off intentionally. As for forgetfulness, Allah says: [al-Baqarah: 286], Allah said: , and the ignorant person is in the ruling of the forgetful person.
In His saying, Blessed and Exalted is He:
And do not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has not been mentioned
وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِAnswer:

So eat of that [meat] upon which the name of Allah has been mentioned
فَكُلُوا مِمَّا ذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِIf you shoot the arrow, mention the name of Allah
إذا رميتَ السهم فاذكر اسم اللهWhen you release your dog, mention the name of Allah
إذا أرسلتَ كلبَك فاذكر اسم اللهAnd do not eat of that upon which the name of Allah has not been mentioned
وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرِ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِSo the intended meaning is if he left it off intentionally. As for forgetfulness, Allah says:
Our Lord, do not impose blame upon us if we have forgotten or erred.
رَبَّنَا لَا تُؤَاخِذْنَا إِنْ نَسِينَا أَوْ أَخْطَأْنَاI have done it
قد فعلتُ
