Question:
What is the ruling on one who takes charge of slaughtering the sacrificial animals, a polytheist or a Hindu, or one of the People of the Book?

Answer:
Answer: There is no harm with the People of the Book; the slaughter of the People of the Book is lawful. As for the polytheist, the Hindu, and the disbeliever, it is not permissible for them to slaughter, and a Muslim must not eat from the slaughter of these people, even if it is not for the sacrificial animal of the pilgrimage or the 'Id sacrifice. The slaughter of a disbeliever is not permissible except that of the People of the Book, the Jews and the Christians (*And the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you*), meaning their slaughter is lawful for us, the Jews and the Christians only.
