The same conditions apply to the slaughter of a person of the Book as apply to the slaughter of a Muslim. It is not required to hear him mention the name of Allah over it, unless it is known that he intentionally omitted the Tasmiyah (mentioning Allah's name), in which case his slaughtered animal becomes unlawful. It also becomes unlawful if a name other than Allah's is mentioned over it, such as Christ or Ezra, or if it is stunned by electricity or shot with a gun.
