Ruling on the slaughtered animal of someone who does not pray, goes to soothsayers, or slaughters for other than Allah

1528

Q 3: What is the ruling on eating the meat of an animal that was slaughtered by someone who does not perform Salah (Prayer), or one who performs Salah and Sawm but goes to sorcerers and offers sacrifice for other than Allah (Exalted be He)?

A: According to the preponderant view, it is impermissible to eat the meat of the animal that was slaughtered by a person who intentionally abandons Salah, even if he does not deny its obligation, as he counts as a Kafir (disbeliever). (Part No. 22; Page No. 448) Additionally, it is impermissible to eat the meat of an animal that was slaughtered by sorcerers, the persons who go to them and believe them, or who offer a sacrifice for other than Allah (Exalted be He). It should be noted that sorcerers are considered Kafir as they claim that they know the unseen and slaughter animals for the sake of the Jinn.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
