The Case of Animal Slaughtered by Children, Women and a Blind Person

5. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr from ‘Umar ibn ‘Udhaynah from more than one person who has said the following: “One of the two Imam, (abu Ja‘far or abu ‘Abd Allah) عليه السلام, has said, ‘If a woman slaughters an animal properly and mentions the name of Allah, then it is not unlawful to use it for food and so also is slaughtering by a blind person if he is helped in what he needs.’”
