The speaker discusses the opinion that Kenneth Sirt recites the name of Allah Hapa when they slaughter an animal, but mentions that this is discretionary. When Sirt talks about forgetfulness being lifted from Muhammad's Prophet Muhammad may peace and blessings be, he suggests that people should remember the name when they forget his name. The speaker also mentions that natural forgetfulness is still a possibility.

So the first opinion is that it is compulsory to recite, to mention

00:00:06 --> 00:00:08

the name of Allah subhanaw taala when we are slaughtering an

00:00:08 --> 00:00:13

animal, but if a person forgets, then there is no blame upon him

00:00:13 --> 00:00:16

based on the hadith of our beloved Prophet Muhammad may peace and

00:00:16 --> 00:00:18

blessings be upon him. But in our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be

00:00:18 --> 00:00:22

upon himself to fulfill an almighty Allah Hapa. When they say

00:00:22 --> 00:00:26

I know, Mr. Ali, that forgetfulness has been lifted from

00:00:26 --> 00:00:31

my ummah, and they are exempted when they forget, as well as if

00:00:31 --> 00:00:35

they're forced to do something. So if a person generally he mentioned

00:00:35 --> 00:00:37

the name of Allah subhanaw taala, when he's sacrificing, but

00:00:37 --> 00:00:41

occasionally, he forgets the name of Allah subhanaw taala or maybe

00:00:41 --> 00:00:44

once in a blue moon, he forgets the name of Allah to mention you

00:00:44 --> 00:00:46

forget to mention the name of Allah subhanaw taala when he's

00:00:47 --> 00:00:50

starting the animal and he genuinely forgets, then inshallah

00:00:50 --> 00:00:53

there is no blame upon him and the meat but natural it is yet halal.
