Chapter: Manner of Slaughtering 4ـ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِي٠َ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي عُ٠َّادٍ عَنِ الْحَلَبِيِّ قَالَ لا يَذْبَحْ لَكَ الْيَهُودِيُّ وَلا النَّصْرَانِيُّ أُضْحِيَّتَكَ فَإِنْ كَانَتِ ا٠ْرَأَةً فَلْتَذْبَحْ لِنَفْسِهَا وَتَسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةَ وَتَقُولُ وَجَّهْتُ وَجْهِيَ لِلَّذِي فَطَرَ السَّ٠َاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ حَنِيفاً الله٠4.

Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from Hammad from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “He (the Imam) (a.s.), has said, ‘Jews or Christians must not slaughter your offering. A woman can slaughter for herself facing al-Qiblah (al-Ka‘bah). She must say, ‘I have turned my face toward the Creator of the heavens and earth, obediently.

O Lord, this is from You and for You.’” حسن - Allamah Baqir al-Majlisi (Mirʾāt al-ʿUqūl fī Sharḥ Akhbār Āl al-Rasūl (18/178))
