Animals Slaughtered Without Uttering Basmala
The prohibition in verse 121 of Surah al-An’am is not about slaughter without Basmala, but about the slaughtered animal being fisq.
Animals slaughtered without uttering basmala The ruling on eating the meat of animals slaughtered without saying Bismillah is one of today’s most discussed halal food issues. Scholars
belonging to the Hanafi, Maliki, and Hanbali sects accepted the 121st verse of Surah al-An’am as evidence, thus concluding that the Basmala is obligatory (fard) in the slaughtering process and that the meat of animals slaughtered without Basmala is forbidden (haraam) to eat.
On the contrary, in the Shafii sect, it is not obligatory to utter Basmala while slaughtering, so animals slaughtered without Basmala are also lawful (halal) to eat.
