The answer

Slaughter is divided into two categories:

1. Slaughter for meat: It is a condition that the name of Allah be mentioned at the time of slaughter. If the name of Allah is mentioned, then the slaughtered animal is lawful to eat; otherwise, it is not.

2. Slaughter for seeking proximity [to Allah] and worship: It is a condition that it be purely for Allah alone. Whoever slaughters for other than Allah, seeking proximity to them, has committed major polytheism (shirk akbar) which expels one from the fold of Islam. The meat of such an animal is not lawful to eat, even if the name of Allah was mentioned over it, because it was consecrated to other than Allah.
