In the second Surah of the Quran, it says:
“He has only forbidden you dead meat, and blood, and the flesh of swine, and that (any food, meat or not) which has been dedicated to other than Allah. But if one is forced by necessity, without wilful disobedience, or transgressing due limits; then is he guiltless. For Allah is Oft-forgiving Most Merciful. (Qur'an 2:173)”
Question: This makes me think that if the meat is not dedicated to anyone and also not dedicated to Allah, is it halal? (when the actual process of slaughtering is as per the prescribed method, like, making sure all the blood is out, least painful for the animal, single swipe of sharp knife etc)
My take/understanding: Saying that any food that is dedicated to “any other than Allah” (before, during or after slaughter if it is an animal) is not the same as saying that any food which is not dedicated to Allah is forbidden.
There are three possibilities in this:
i. The food is dedicated to Allah (by mentioning His name on it). This is the best/recommended way. ii. The food is not dedicated to anything. iii. The food is dedicated to other than Allah. This is totally forbidden.
Had Allah stated “and any food which is not dedicated to Allah is forbidden”, then it would imply that if the name of Allah is not taken in dedication (for example at slaughter for animals), then it would be haram.
