Using an automatic knife to slaughter animals and the worker just recites Basmalah

Q 1: What is the ruling on animals slaughtered with an animal slaughtering machine operated by a worker who pronounces Tasmiyah (saying, "Bismillah [In the Name of Allah]")?


A: If that worker, being a Muslim, Jew or Christian, turns on the slaughtering machine with the intention to slaughter these animals while remembering to pronounce Tasmiyah upon (Part No. 22; Page No. 383) slaughter and making sure that the machine cuts the animal's windpipe, gullet and two jugular veins, it will be permissible to eat from animals slaughtered this way.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
