Dietary Restrictions When No Name Is Invoked While Slaughtering
“He has forbidden you only carrion, blood, and the flesh of swine; also any animal that is slaughtered in the name of someone other than God”.
Focusing on the specific wording of the Quran, is it ok to eat meat on which no name is recited at all?

According to Ghamidi sb, name of God should be invoked. Refer to Discussion 48188 • Reply 48256

An animal which is slaughtered such that no name other Allah is invoked on it but the name of Allah is also not positively invoked while slaughtering also comes under prohibited items. The Quran has declared it to be an act of fisq (defiance; disobedience) just as it has done so in the case of slaughtering an animal in the name of someone other than Allah. While refuting certain superstitious beliefs of the Arabs about animals, it says:
وَلَا تَأْكُلُوا مِمَّا لَمْ يُذْكَرْ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ وَإِنَّهُ لَفِسْقٌ وَإِنَّ الشَّيَاطِينَ لَيُوحُونَ إِلَى أَوْلِيَائِهِمْ لِيُجَادِلُوكُمْ وَإِنْ أَطَعْتُمُوهُمْ إِنَّكُمْ لَمُشْرِكُونَ
Eat not [O believers] that animal on which Allah’s name has not been pronounced [at the time of the slaughtering of the animal], for this is a Fisq. And certainly, the devils do inspire their friends to dispute with you, and if you obey them, then you would indeed be polytheists. (Quran 6:121).

Assalamu Alaikum, thank for this response. It is greatly appreciated. I have a follow up question. In the Quran, it stated that it is permissible for us to eat the food of people of the book (Christians and Jews). So does that automatically make Kosher food halal for us? Or do we have evidence that today’s Kosher practices are different compared how they were done during Prophet Muhammad’s (PBUH) time? Please elaborate. Thank you.
