Question :

What is the ruling on mentioning Allah`s name upon slaughtering an animal?



The Answer :

Praise be to Allah, and peace and blessings be upon our master, the Messenger of Allah.

 

It is Sunnah for the slaughterer to say at the time of sacrificing the Udhiyah: (Bismillah - In the name of Allah); due to the saying of the Almighty: "So eat of that [meat] upon which the name of Allah has been mentioned" [Al-An'am/118]. It is not obligatory; if one leaves it out intentionally or forgetfully, the consumption of the meat remains permissible. And Allah the Almighty knows best.
