اِنَّمَا حَرَّمَ عَلَیْكُمُ الْمَیْتَةَ وَ الدَّمَ وَ لَحْمَ الْخِنْزِیْرِ وَ مَاۤ اُهِلَّ بِهٖ لِغَیْرِ اللّٰهِۚ-فَمَنِ اضْطُرَّ غَیْرَ بَاغٍ وَّ لَا عَادٍ فَلَاۤ اِثْمَ عَلَیْهِؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(173)

English translation of Kanz-ul-Irfan

He has only prohibited for you the dead (carrion) and blood and the flesh of swine and those animals which were slaughtered by calling upon a name other than Allah;[1] so whosoever is forced while he is neither desiring himself nor exceeding limits of necessity, there is no sin on him; indeed, Allah is Most-Forgiving, Most-Merciful.

Commentary

[1]

To invoke anyone other than Allah Almighty during the actual moment of slaughter would make the animal carrion and unlawful for consumption. This verse does not apply to attributing the animal to someone else during its life. However, if it is slaughtered with the name of Allah Almighty but attributed to others for conveying reward or an occasion (like ʿaqīqah), it is permissible.
