Are the slaughtered animals of the Druze permissible (halal), given that they pronounce the name of God over them and slaughter them according to the Islamic method, and believe that God manifested Himself in the form of Al-Hakim bi-Amr Allah to guide people, and not that they deify him?

Allah has specifically permitted for the People of the Book the marriage of their women and the consumption of their slaughtered animals, based on His saying, the Most High: "This day [all] good foods have been made lawful for you. And the food of those who were given the Scripture is lawful for you and your food is lawful for them. And [lawful in marriage are] the chaste women from among the believers and the chaste women from among those who were given the Scripture before you" (Al-Ma'idah: 5). And the term "People of the Book" refers to Jews and Christians. As for the Druze, they are a disbelieving esoteric sect, and their slaughtered animals are not lawful, even if they mention the name of Allah over them, because their belief that Allah manifested Himself in the form of Al-Hakim is sufficient to render them outside the fold of Islam. If slaughtering becomes widespread in a country among non-Muslims who are not People of the Book, then precaution necessitates refraining from eating it, as a means of safeguarding one's religion.
