What is the ruling on an animal slaughtered with a knife engraved with "Bismillāh" but without uttering it aloud?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Engraving the name of Allah on the knife does not suffice for uttering the Basmalah at the time of slaughtering; thus, the slaughtered animal is considered to have been slaughtered without the mention of Allah's name.
